    Trevor I congratulate you on your trip. This has to be one of the nicest videos of the traiil that I have seen. I am planning on doing the trip flying from Tampa to D.C. and ride to Pittsburg do a few days in Pittsburg and ride back to D.C. hopefully spent a few more days in D.C. and ride back down to Tampa. I think the scenery and how you camped and the different suggestions on the gear and different places to eat, sleep, and hang out is really clever. I look forward to it very much and thank you for making this video available. Alex Retana.

    This video sparked my desire to try bike touring... my wife and I jumped in deep and rode from Pittsburgh to DC on our very first bike tour. It was such a challenging yet reward experience, that we've returned a couple more times since 2018, and we're looking forward to more bike touring. Stumbled upon this video again after years... now I can better appreciate the muddy autumn struggle.

    This is one of the best biking videos. In my own back yard, too. I live in the Pittsburgh area. I liked that the narration was carefully thought out beforehand and not babbled spontaneously. I liked that the narrator showed the area traveled through and didn't fill the screen with his face all the time as many other bike videos do. Looked like a great ride and I'd love to do it myself someday. I'm old and not that fit so I'd probably have to opt for motel/hostel stays instead of camping.

    Did this ride in OCT 2017 with a couple of friends to DC. It was interesting to say the least. The PawPaw tunnel was closed at the time of our trip and had a 3/4 mile hike-a-bike up and around the tunnel. (not a fun hike-a-bike with a fully loaded Trek 920 at 68 lbs) Did have a good time overall and will do the trip again and perhaps extend the ride further south maybe to North or South Carolina or even Georgia. The 920 did a wonderful job on the trip (Stock seat was not great) No mechanicals experienced the entire trip.

It’s another facet of the GAP experience that we find relaxing, unwinding and enriching. We owe so much thanks to those who built and maintain this treasure.
