A new ride option on the Great Allegheny Passage!!! http://www.atatrail.org/
The GAP ride will begin at Canal Place in Cumberland, Maryland and go 15 miles up to the Frostburg Trail Head. At Frostburg, a rest stop will be available with food and drinks. Riders will then head back to Cumberland to finish the ride. If riders do not want to go to Frostburg they can turn around at anytime and enjoy a gentle down hill ride back to Cumberland.

Testimonials:
“I wanted to congratulate you for the great job you did in yesterday’s Century. The course was beautiful, challenging and interesting. I signed up to do the Metric but felt good enough to “just do” the full Century and am glad. Although itwas my first organized ride, and my first Century, I’m confident that it will hard to beat the organization, support, challenge and beauty that you all pull off. “
Kent from Frederick, MD
“Hello!! I just wanted to send an email in and compliment your club! I rode in the century this past weekend and as a rookie racer I have never felt more welcome, accepted and supported as I did! Your team couldn’t have made my ride and experience more enjoyable, the whole race was so well run!!”
Lyndsey Smith from State College, PA
“I had a blast at the event, I really enjoyed it. I liked the route, ….The food was right in line at the rest stops. Nice work, and I’ll be back next year for sure.”
Steve Porter
I rode in my second 100 the next Saturday (before Labor Day) after yours. It was fine BUT I’d say that your scenery was BY FAR superior. I accidentally bumped into two guys that I met on your ride at the next weeks ride (…….) and we all talked about the great climbs and the fact that even though the last climb was long after about 85 miles it was mentally manageable because we knew it was near the end AND it had a GREAT decent.
