Sounds like GAP. Pittsburgh to Cumberland then the C@O to Washington DC. I did that ride last summer on my CX bike and it was awesome! 2 1/2 days by car from Hondo,Texas to the Pittsburgh Pa area to start then to DC. Downhill to Cumberland then riding along the Potomac with all the history. Just an awesome tour. I lived in Pittsburgh in the early 70s when I was very young so it was sort of a homecoming.

How many long did you do it?

I’m going to try it on my Giant Contend bike. I put bigger tires on. Well that’s the plan until I actually start riding it when ice is melted.
