We kicked off the start of the adventure with a decent breakfast and some Columbian coffee in the Northside of Pittsburgh then rode down to start / end of the GAP in Point State Park at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers. Unfortunately the fountain was under repair so I guess we’re going to have to return for the group photo at some point.
First day’s riding was pretty easy (63 miles, flat to slightly up hill) and weather was perfect. We stayed in an AirBNB right on the trail in Connellsville, had a couple of beers, and dinner at the River’s Edge as the Youghiogheny River and freight trains on the railroad rolled by.
