The Great Allegheny Passage - Part 1 (Getting Ready to Ride the GAP)
Episode 7 is the first of two episodes on the Great Allegheny Passage. In this podcast Robert and Chris go into detail on mapping software, what to pack for the road-trip and note that the bikes, under load, weighed in at 50 pounds. That will change the ride characteristics of your bike!
Their GAP ride started in Columbus, Ohio. First day (of 5) was Columbus to Steubenville, Ohio. Day two from Weirton, WV to Homestead, PA. Day three, first day on the actual GAP trail, was from Homestead to Connellsville. Connersville to Rockwood was day four. The final day was Rockwood to Cumberland, MD. Total ride was about 330 miles.
The guys offer very detailed information on getting the bikes ready, what to pack and how to pack it. If you plan to ride the gap, this episode can help you plan your trip.
