Sorry, I live in Pittsburgh, and the tendency here is to refer to any city within 25 miles of Pittsburgh as "Pittsburgh".
We started at Little Boston. Did overnight stays in Confluence, PA Cumberland, MD Hancock, MD Harper's Ferry, WV That route gives you 60 - 70 miles per day. Would do it again for sure. Cheers!

I don't believe the section between there and Pittsburg is really finished yet. You have the choice of riding west to east, where the first 120 miles or so are all uphill, but very gentle, followed by what feels like a screaming 25 mile steep downhill between the Eastern Continental Divide and Cumberland; or a tough 25 mile climb followed by an almost imperceptible downhill for the remaining 120 or so. I liked the GAP a lot, and will be happy to do it again in 2010. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
