I've posted before that I'm planning on riding the GAP/C&O from Pittsburgh to DC (actually, I'm going to drive to DC and ride home) and am taking an entire week off. I know the trip can be done in 4-5 days (I even know someone that did it in 3-1/2 to say they did,) but I want to enjoy the time. I'm hoping to stop and smell the roses, take in the sites, take some pictures, and unwind. I may be alone, but a friend or two may go with me. Who knows, I may spend a day at Ohio Pyle and take in that area via bike--and I only live an hour from there!!!!!
For a 4-5 day tour (or even a week), I probably wouldn't bother with a rest day unless there was something really interesting to do in the middle that you wanted to spend all day doing.

Regarding the Ohio Pyle ... why not cycle there this weekend if it is that close?
