Advice: please evaluate the route of my first tour
Good day all, I sincerely hope you and yours are well.
I am planning a tour in September. Will it happen? Who knows, but I'll continue to plan. It's my first road tour and I'm interested in knowing how practical people think it is.
I'm not entitled to include links in m posts yet. The entire route is on RWGPS, /routes/31973568
I'm traveling from Gaithersburg MD to Ferdinand IN. It's a 13-day trip, 12 days on the road and one rest day. The first 5 days are on trails (C&O, GAP, Montour in PA).
I'm staying in hotels and AirBnB. Don't hold that against me, I already paid my dues sleeping on the ground in my youth. I'm traveling as light as I can. The stays are noted on the map along with mileage.
I have one rest day. I plan a short but hilly trip the day before. The last day is pretty long and hilly, so I planned a short day before it as well.
What do you experienced planners think? Am I on the right track?
Thanks
Ed K
