Bike trip
Well I thought I would just post a little something about my cycling trip.

I did end up riding from Pittsburgh to Washington DC. It ended up being 332.4 miles for me on the trip. I took 6 days for the trip with my friends so we weren't doing a lot of miles each day. Well day 5 ended up being almost 85 miles but other than that day we didn't have any really long days.

We took stuff to camp with and cook out with so that is what we did every evening. I will say that next time I do something like this I will rethink how I pack and what little I will bring. I used a hikers backpack for the trip and it probably weighed between 30 and 35 lbs. I probably took too much extra clothing that I really didn't need. I also took a book that I read 3 paragraphs of.

There was something incredibly relaxing building a fire by hand on our own (no I didn't take a lighter or matches either). I was tired each day after our rides but not too tired to sit by the fire and watch the flames dance for a bit. I also don't know if I have ever slept so well on the ground.

Would I do it again? Yes absolutely. I am already looking forward to the next time I can.
