Biking - Great Allegheny Passage and C & O Canal

On Thursday morning, a friend and I are driving to Washington, DC, and have hired a bike shuttle operator to get us to the western end of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP), south of Pittsburgh. From there, we'll be biking back to Washington for the next 6-8 days, along the GAP and then the C&O Canal towpath. It's 330 miles of off-road riding, and it should be a great trip. I'll be posting daily updates and pictures to an online trip journal at CrazyGuyOnABike.com wherever wifi access allows. We're hoping for good camping weather and colorful fall foliage, and will return here around Columbus Day weekend sometime.
