Blue Skies & Crimson Leaves - Cumberland to Pittsburgh 2024 

Thanks Mat! Glad you enjoyed it! I will one day become Mayor of Markleton!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ditto! Nice videos, keep it up!

@JCSell Thank you! I'm hoping for some nice weather to get out and do another trip of some kind!

@@BikingBeyondBoundaries if you are ever in Northeast Ohio let me know. We have great rails to trails - especially through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, North into Cleveland and beyond.

@JCSell traveling for a good ride is always on the table. I'll keep that in mind! I've only ever ridden the Conotton trail and the Western Reserve Greenway trail as far as Ohio goes

Thank you! I am extremely grateful for all the support. And yes, the ride was amazing. Perfect weather and time of year for it.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I also want a 360 camera at some point. Happy cycling!

Glad you liked it!

Many more to come. Already thinking about my next trip/video. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! You as well!

Sorry to hear you missed it. You do it every year? That's awesome. I definitely want to do it again, especially in this direction. I thought it was way more fun than going from Pittsburgh to Cumberland.

@@BikingBeyondBoundaries I’m from the area, but moved South 30 years ago. I started coming back a few years ago in the fall, usually September, to ride the GAP and C&O. That usually cures my homesickness in the fall. I’ve done Cumberland to PGH on a recumbent trike and that climb was tough but fun. I actually did the exact itinerary, including lodging, that you did. I may try doing it from DC next year on 2 wheels.

Oh wow that's awesome! Well if you end up doing that ride from DC let me know. I'd love to give that a try and am always looking for a new adventure.

@@BikingBeyondBoundaries will do

Thank you for the sub!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I had so much fun making it. Can't wait for my next big adventure

Thank you! I had so much fun making this video. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Skip! I had so much fun on this ride. Trying to decide on my next adventure.

@@BikingBeyondBoundaries Check out the Armstrong, Redbank, and Ghost Town trails...all great rides, great scenery!

Thank you! I plan to keep making new videos. Already looking at some rides near me and also shopping for a tent to give bikepacking a first go!

Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the feedback, I'm always looking to improve. I will definitely keep that in mind on my next adventure.

Haha, that sounds like a good deal to me! Thats awesome you're also from the East Coast. Maybe we'll cross paths on the trails sometime!

@@BikingBeyondBoundaries yeah planning on C&O in May gap hopefully in fall

Awesome! We did the GAP to C&O back in May this year. I just uploaded a quick short showcasing some of it! The C&O is a bit rough... ru-vid.comh4ddsMC7nD0?feature=share

Ugh sorry to hear about the weather. This trip was the weekend of the 11th. Just a few days before you went. At least you missed the rain on the C&O?

@BikingBeyondBoundaries yes it took us 7 days, and the weather was great on the C&O. We ran into the same headwind when we left Cumberland. That was a hard day with the climb and headwinds.

@dsa5394 well I'm glad you had a mostly nice trip. We loved our Pittsburgh to DC trip earlier this year.

My gloves are from www.handupco.com/ and they're awesome. Super comfortable and I love their designs. For my cycling gear, my bibs are from aerotechdesigns.com/ and I can't recommend them enough. Super comfortable and I can ride for hours in them. They have a big and tall section. My jersey's are from fatladattheback.com/ and they're decent, but I'm probably going to soon splurge for some from aerotech since I'm so happy with their bibs.
