C&O Canal/GAP Spring
This spring, you won’t need to worry about traffic as you ride your hybrid or mountain bike some 330 miles on hard-packed, gently graded gravel and dirt trails from the heart of the nation’s capital north to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
We start in Washington, DC, where we’ll enjoy a quick tour of the many historic monuments before rolling through farmland and sun-dappled woods as our surroundings soon become more wild. There will be plenty of off-bike opportunities throughout the tour, from Appalachian day hikes to visiting Revolutionary and Civil War battle sites.
With stellar car-free riding and gentle grades, this is an ideal tour for the first-time, self-contained tourist or for the rider who wants to ease into the season.
“The ride exceeded my expectations in every way. I will certainly participate in other Adventure Cycling rides in the future.”
