    Just finished the Greenbrier River Trail yesterday. I did out and backs from Seebert (about milepost 46). I actually rode 190 miles over 3 days riding. Loved the Greenbrier River Trail !!

    Everyone has their own style and personality, and you’re doing great with your videos. All those camera angles always help on the creative side. Pretty sure everyone that bikepacks watches the same channels and good to see your viewership increasing. You’ll love the GAP/C&O and let’s talk about FL in the winter.

    awesome dude!! i am going to do the c&o and gap trail from dc to Pittsburgh. not sure the dat, but sometime around sept 1st!! I am goona park at cumberland and take da train to dc then ride back to cumberland, then on to pittsburgh. my issue is i am gonna have to stay at that closet campground to pittsburgh then get up dat morning and ride there and turn around and head back to cumberland on da bike. no money for no motel in pittsburgh!! dey want like 150 to 200 a night. that's the plan anyhow!! I want to go up to pennslyvania and do the pine creek trail to, but another time. I think my biggest concern on the trip is not stopping 2x a day for meals at local restraunts. that gets expensive. i am gonna bring some food along and buy sanwich meat at the grocery store and make snawiches . trying not to spend anymore than i have to!!

In the early 90s, I rode several trails on my mtb that really weren't mtb friendly, but I would ride them early mornings on weekdays when mo one was around. Now, some of those places are mtb friendly, Hueston Woods, Ceasars Creek, and East Fork Lake, to name a few.

I put on a suspension corrected rigid steel fork, a 1 x 7 drivetrain, and it's running 26 x 2.1" tires. It's sort of a softtail gravel bike I have dubbed my Frankengravel.
