Great Allegheny Passage trip report

[Catrin]

Very exciting, looking forward to reading more! So glad your bikes were ok and that you had used the extra bungies! I had wanted to ride both this trail and the GAP so your report enables me to live vicariously through you, looking forward to hearing more! I am surprised to read that most of the trail isn't shaded, and glad you had such a great place to stay that first night! You certainly earned those cookies

Thanks, Catrin! The cookies were delicious, and yes, I definitely felt I'd earned them!

I just lost a long post and am now out of time; I'm quite annoyed that I lost what I'd just spent 30 minutes typing, and am sorry this will thus take even longer.

I'm glad to hear that your GAP experience was wonderful, and am enjoying your report from a local volunteer point of view. I can't imagine a rail trail that is completely flat, and am sorry you had heard that the GAP is flat. The flyovers and bridges in the early part of your trek had to be difficult for you and I hope you can recover. Looking forward to the rest of your report!!

I have a lot of magnetic poetry words just inside my office door – the walls are metal – and keep a rotating selection of them outside my door for people to play with. Before I left to ride the GAP, I printed a page letting people at work know I was out and why and posted it by my door.

And this is what I came back to:
