And not to mention the Grand Canyon of PA that has 1,500 foot deep narrow canyons. We will have to reroute some sections because of one road that was privatized and four bridges out, but will post an updated and tested route and some pictures soon. Counting detours we climbed over 40,000 feet. This is over 80% gravel to go from Scranton to Meadville. We need to get Ted King to try this once we have it complete.
Wow, good for you. Did you bikepack the whole ride or use car sag to assist. That is a whole lot of climbing. Thanks for your efforts on this.
