Paula and David kept us entertained during their 7-day Pittsburgh to DC self-guided bike trip last season as they shared their trail photos with us daily. We love their enthusiasm for the trail!
DAY 1. PITTSBURGH TO CONNELLSVILLE
Hi Kelley. We made it. Had a great trip to a Pittsburgh and a great nights sleep at the Marriott Had hamburgers and dark beer at the best place in town. Made it to Connellsville by 4pm. What a great ride. Met all kinds of nice people on the trail. Love love love the Connellsville B&B. Good choice, thanks very much. Lucy is very sweet. ?♀️???

DAY 3. MEYERSDALE TO CUMBERLAND
I walked the Paw Paw Tunnel detour with another couple and David rode his bike behind us all the way up and then all four of us rode all the way down together. It was great ?♀️????
DAY 4. CUMBERLAND TO HANCOCK
What a great day we had today. We enjoyed a lunch stop at Desert Rose Cafe Our lodging in Sharpsburg is amazing. We took the lower road so we would be able to ride the whole canal path and tomorrow will ride around the battlefield before getting back on the Towpath. We are the only guests here so it is quite special to say the least. Each day is better than the day before and the beauty of the Towpath is amazing. Thanks for all your help to make this trip so enjoyable. The memories we are making together are precious. ?♀️?
