Days 1 and 2 of the Tour!

Well, I've heard from Neil, and the trip is underway.

Neil and Neil drove out to Pittsburgh on Friday, and stayed with a guy from the bike forums. This morning, the Neils left Pittsburgh, and biked what my Neil described as the most harrowing day of the trip. That's because the two of them needed to get out of Pittsburgh in order to get to the beginning of the trail that they'll be following most of the way to DC. They're spending the night in a hotel, and tomorrow should start on the trail.

Unfortunately, Neil hasn't been able to talk for long, so he'll give me more details when he gets the chance.

Comments:

I had hoped that the guys would have skipped over the city ride and just started out from the Boston trailhead (opting for a cab ride to the B&B). I'm glad to hear that they made it in one piece. That's probably the worst part of the trip they'll encounter. Thanks for updating Neil's blog. I'll be checking in with the guys tomorrow night and let you know how the trip to Fallingwater goes after Monday.

I'm glad we did the city ride, actually. I enjoy city riding a lot more than NB does, though.

I'm far more concerned with doing the entire ride than NB is, I suspect.
