In early October of 2021 I set out from Pittsburgh, PA on a journey that, months before I had never even dreamed of, to ride the length of the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal Towpath trails. The longest single distance I had previously ever pedaled was 20 miles. That seems like a warmup ride now.

I made this video series to not only provide a chronicle of my ride for myself, friends, and family but also as a guide or reference to anyone who might be planning on taking this ride in the future. I got so much information from the YouTube community when I was planning this ride and so I thought it only appropriate to give back.

Part 1 covers the beginning of my trip from Point Park in Pittsburgh to my first campsite in Cedar Creek, though my second day, which ended in Confluence. I hope you enjoy the ride.
