This is more of a question if you wouldn’t mind weighing in on this. We are two couples from Arizona in our sixties planning to bike the GAP from Pittsburgh to DC this early June. The first day we will have a guide for a couple hours to tell us about Pittsburgh history, bridges etc. Would you recommend starting our trip in downtown Pittsburgh or at the waterfront in Homestead – which is 10 miles down the trail. Would we miss significant stuff if we started in Homestead ? Our tour package person usually starts her trips in Homestead but is willing to do whatever we want – we just don’t have enough knowledge of the area. What do you think?
Jane, Pittsburgh is a beautiful city and you would get to see a lot of it if you started downtown. I would definitely recommend starting downtown, even if you end up meeting the guide in Homestead. Let me know if you have any additional questions…otherwise, happy trails!! 🙂
Thanks for your prompt reply ! We have indeed decided to start downtown. Why not dip our wheels in the fountain at Point Park to signal the start of our adventure….and the guide will join us there so we can hear all about your cool city. Thanks again !
