I’ve decided to devote about 90 days to the Excellent Adventure. The end of the ride drives the entire schedule. The end of the ride will be the Downs Family Vacation in Virginia Beach in August, 2019. So allowing for rest days and days to enjoy ourselves across the country, we’ll allow for about 60 days of riding over a period of 90 days. So the start date is now about May 1, and we’ll cut the southern loop in favor of a trip through Pittsburgh, PA through the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal towpath to Washington DC before heading down to the Virginia coast. Here’s the route from RidewithGPS:
