GAP day 3 of 3 completed

Completed the GAP ride today. Ten Porsche Bike cyclists started the 340-mile ride in Washington DC Sunday and all rode into Pittsburgh, PA together in the afternoon. My original 2021 goal was to ride the Great Allegheny Passage on the 2004 Porsche Bike X. That effort grew into riding the entire combined C&O and GAP with fellow Porsche Bike enthusiasts. We had ten Porsche Bikes including Bike S, Bike FS, Bike R, Bike X, Bike RS, Bike RX, eBike Cross and eBike Sport on this off road cycling adventure.

The ride was truly epic in every sense of the word. We rode through cold, wind, heat and even hard rain. We had spills, flat tires and crashes. Rough terrain, steep uphills and long detours. And of course, crazy long mileage. Even with the obstacles, we persevered and all ten riders finished. Another bucket list ride finished. Mission 2021 completed.
