We will meet at the train station in Meyersdale, PA (use 527 Main St. for on line mapping or your GPS navigation) at 10 AM on Saturday, October 9th and ride down to Cumberland, MD. Here is a link to the Meyersdale, PA trail parking. Below are the directions to the trail parking from the Great Allegheny Passage web site. From Pittsburgh it will take approximately 2 hours so please plan your trip so you can arrive in plenty of time to make the 10 AM start.
This ride is a point to point from Meyersdale, PA to Cumberland, MD. Once we get to Cumberland, MD we typically eat lunch and/or view the sites before loading up the big van with riders and putting the bikes on the truck and trailer and then we head back to Meyersdale, PA. The distance between Meyersdale and Cumberland is 32 miles with most of it down hill. In fact the elevation change from the Eastern Continental Divide to Cumberland is 1787 feet. We have enough room for all the riders (and the bikes) who have notified us that they are riding. If you are not sure you have reserved your spot please reply to this email or call one of us immediately.
The weather for Saturday looks great and the Fall foliage should be nice. You might want to bring your camera for this ride! The temperatures will be a bit chilly when we start the ride plus we do go through some tunnels so please make sure you wear layers . Also bring plenty of water and any snacks you may want to eat along the trail.
I encourage you read about the Great Allegheny Passage to get more information on the ride areas.
