Not enough time to comfortably ride, plus the extra expense, so it wouldn't work for me.
Are you planning on riding the whole thing in 4 days including car travel to and from?? Yikes that is a heck of a haul. Why not just ride the GAP for now?
You can either leave you car in Cumberland or leave it here and ride to Cumberland.
