My 2023 bike tour is complete. PGH to Wash DC to Richmond, VA and then DC to New Haven, CT. 1,059 miles and zero flats. Lots of interesting sights. Really enjoyed riding across bridges I'd only previously drive across. Big thanks to the #EastCoastGreenway and the #GAPTrail and the #CandOCanalTrail

Lovely day so far on the Great Allegheny Passage. Found a nice little overlook over the Yough River. Bike is handling great so far. #BikeTooter #bicycling #biketouring #GAPTrail

Just discovered Pittsburgh, PA has a combination Bicycle Museum and Bike Shop called Bicycle Heaven. I plan to visit when I ride the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Trails. Looks like they have some very cool bikes. Check them out - they could use your support to help recover from a flood over the holidays.

A beautiful overlook just south of the Big Savage Tunnel along the Great Allegheny Passage. This alone was worth the trip.

What I love about rail trails is the history you roll through.

This abutment is all that remains of an old pre-WW2 road (or rail? coal chute?) bridge. Aside from satellite imagery, there's nothing remaining of this road. It's too small to show on topo maps and I can't find a list of Maryland LIDAR captures.

If you want to figure it out yourself, this was at 39°42'38.7"N 78°54'40.0"W

Another shot along the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). Same bridge as before, leading into Cumberland MD.

I'm still building up my endurance, so last summer I rode the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) in segments. This summer I'm hoping to ride it all in one shot. Here's the gentle descent into Cumberland MD.
