Thanks for the reply! The GAP(along with C and O) is one of my favorite activities in general and I try to do it at least once per year….I’m planning to the whole trail, regardless of which I end up doing, I will be coming fron Baltimore … I’m open to Camping or lodging, I haven’t decided yet. I’m a pretty strong rider, when I’ve done the CandO/Gap in the past I’ve usually done between 60-80 miles per day.
