The first ever Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Md COMBO Ride!  

What the hell is a Combo Ride?  Well, after years of hearing so many cyclists claim that they would like to do a ride from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Md, BUT....do NOT want to do the same old same old of three days along the GAP Trail ONLY!

And we AGREE!  Yes, the GAP is a wonderful experience, but it does get really repetitive. 
 
So, we are introducing the first ever Pittsburgh to Cumberland Combo ride where we do BOTH one and a half days on the GAP, and one and a half days along some of the most beautiful & scenic roads in Western Pa and Md.  AND....as ALWAYS, the road sections have been thoroughly vetted by the Ride Genius Team, ensuring low volume roads with paved surfaces.  Please NOTE that the road sections do have climbs and are NOT for any riders who disdain hills!

Dates for this 3-day ride will be this Fall (sometime between Sept 13th and Sept 24th & will be finalized by May 25th).

Ride fees will include full SAG, hotel stays, transportation*, luggage service daily, rest stops, Ride With GPS routes, and daily après-ride Happy Hours! 

For more Info:  Call Phil Heffler 301-693-4503, email Phil at <pheffler@aol.com>, or use the website contact form.

Equipment: We suggest bringing a bike that is suited for road and trail, such as something with tires at least 28mm wide (but 32 is better).

* Starting points & transportation is tricky, due to the fact that we will have two different starting points.

    Option 1: For those that are from the Pittsburgh area.  They will start the ride in Boston, Pa on day 1.  Then, after day 3's ride into Cumberland, Md we will transport you, your luggage, and bicycle back to Pittsburgh.  Expected ride fees to be $949 double occupancy & $1,249 single.

     Option 2: For those that are from the DC, Baltimore & Mid-Atlantic.  These riders & gear will be picked up a day earlier in Cumberland, Md, and then transported to Pittsburgh for the next day's ride start.  Because of the extra costs of truck rentals, overnight hotel stays, etc. in Pittsburgh, add $150 to the ride costs, So $1199 double occupancy & $1399 single.
