T2P - Sorry I haven't responded back sooner. The Gap is now on my must do list and probably at the top. Can't wait to try that. I am heading north on Tuesday for 2 1/2 months and might find my way in Pa. If I can find the time, I will ride some of it. Just had another hand surgery so I am not able to do more than 25 miles at a time but I should be ok to ride some of the Gap. I will be riding part of the Empire State Trail when I get back to my old home area in NY. I'm going to try to do 67 miles on my 67th birthday in a couple weeks.

Rsbob - I purchase your book and look forward to reading it soon. Thank you for telling me about it, boomer.
