Looks like a great trip, Tony; thanks for the write-up and photos. For
someone who has the full Pittsburgh to DC trip on his bucket list, the
overnight from DC to Harper's Ferry could be a good shakedown/intro ride.

I love the build -- what a great knock-about bike! (You're a good son, too!)
It also looks like it might be the love child of these two bikes of mine:

Google does use pedal power in some areas; here's a picture of a Google

According to this post (with photos) from the Amtrak blog (granted, it's

supposed to be delivered by the end of 2014. Obviously that didn't happen,

Thanks, Hugh. Maybe next winter the Northeast won't get clobbered with so

Mark,
Thanks for the breakdown of your kit; it's good to know what works at those
conditions. I don't think I'll ever experience that kind of cold (at least
not on a bike), but it's a good reference point that I can adjust
accordingly for the temperatures I see.

He meant well. He's probably gotten used to seeing all those same looking
off-the-shelf racing bikes with matched all-black groupsets and no
personalization. So, to him, Hugh's bike -- a gorgeous machine, by the way

I love my Spurcycle bell -- it has a sharp (but not unpleasant) piercing

I don't have any army surplus clothing (I do have a US Army woolen blanket,
though), but I am also a recent convert to wool for cycling. After my

Looks like a great trip! Nice photos, too -- love that late-autumn sun!
Regarding the McDade trail: Was it continuous all the way from the
Dingman's Ferry bridge to Hialeah? I've been hesitant to ride that, as the
other maps I've seen show the trail as being disconnected, with missing
bridges.
