Come visit and track my progress. Congrats. I'm thinking about riding the BikePA South route this summer, all road and no panniers. I've checked it out from Lancaster to the Delaware river but haven't seen it any further west (except via Google Earth). Some streams out in the eastern part of PA were still near flood stage over the weekend - your choice of waiting until the 29th was wise. -bdbafh |

Bill, Thanks for the link. I rode that section last weekend (Lancaster to Doylestown). As I had planned to ride the BikePA S route on a 23 mm tire, avoiding the rails to trails sections and remain on asphalt. The info on alternate routes should turn out to be most helpful. I had started from map #1, generating a cue sheet and gmap-pedometer route in .gpx and opened that in Google Earth to view intersections and get elevations. I don't think that I worked out the route as far as Connellsville yet, as the weather has been good and I've been outside on the bike quite a bit. The segments were broken up according to BikePA South map pages. gmap-pedometer has some stability issues with longer routes, although the newer version has been quite stable (with Firefox 2.0.0.3) and http://www.elsewhere.org/GMapToGPX. -bdbafh |

Come visit and track my progress. Looking forward to your updates. Last year I cycled Cumberland to DC on the C&O Canal, and in 2 weeks will be doing Cumberland to Pittsburgh vicinity on Allegheny Highlands trails. This is a fantastic ride. |

I am looking forward to your updates as well. I have been planning out a 6-day, 600+mile solo ride out here in TX. Houston to San Antonio, to Corpus Christi, back to Houston. As soon as I've got the leg between Houston and Corpus Christi nailed down I will set a date - probably late summer. I was thinking about doing the same thing - tracking my progress online, uploading photos, keeping a blog, so on. I will let everyone know how it goes! |
