Well some people do it in 36 hours straight through so I guess 4 days would be taking it easy by comparison.
Maybe be prepared to punt at the last minute if bad weather? Have a plan B to start in Cumberland or here. A wet trail in either place will slow you down. Actually not sure which is worse wet. The GAP can be like riding in Cream of Wheat when wet.
Have you decided which option to get from Pittsburgh to the airport?
