One of the first Two may be a bit easier on the GF!!
All Of These are Epic Rides!!! Tough Decision
The grade is two percent uphill on the Great Allegheny Passage/C&O Canal going from Cumberland, MD, to Deal, PA. Hardly a Deal, err, deal breaker. Also, if you start in Pittsburgh, it's less than a 1 per cent grade up, and you have that nice 2 per cent going down.
