The 330-mile bike ride from Pittsburgh to D.C. consists of two trails - the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) and C&O Canal Trail. I started from Pittsburgh on Sunday. I rode about 60 on Sunday. I could have gone more but did not sleep at all on Saturday night, instead driving thru the night to Pittsburgh. After a good night's sleep in Connellsville, I rode 90 today and completed the GAP portion of this ride.
Most of the today's ride, except for the last 20 miles was uphill. Then I trudged off to a hotel that is on top of a hill.
This is the hotel I stayed at in Connellsville. The elves were very good to me.
This is from a railroad bridge near Ohioplye.
This is the Mason Dixon line setting the boundary between Pa and Md. I am on the Pa side. At this point, I was finally riding downhill.

You do look like a Greek god in a leprechaun sort of way.
We’re cheering you on, Bernie!
Very cool adventure! Perfect elixir for forgetting about your daily ramblings in the Lehigh Valley. At least until you log on at the end of each day.
Love this report. Will never travel these spots so you're showing what's it's like. You look great too. Keep up the good work.
What does that slender stone building symbolize?
I have no idea. It was at St Rita’s, an Italian church in Connellsville.
Good luck and hope you find a new cycle shop to tuneup those bikes when you return now that Curt’s closed.
everything is downhill after you pass that line in the sand
7:43, I will give false names
Have a great ride, Bernie. I'm enjoying the reports.
Get me a large cherry gelato please. No, wait. What?
You are a stud in more ways than one!
