Three Days Cycling the GAP - Day 1 - Pittsburgh to Round Bottom

Part 1 of a 3-part series.
I started day 1 from the Wyndham Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh PA on Wednesday, May 22nd, 2024. From there I rode just over 54 miles to the Round Bottom primitive campsite, which was about 10 miles from Confluence PA. Had I had the chance to do it again, I probably would have ridden to the primitive campsite outside of Confluence.
Along the way I documented many points of interest from the outstanding PBS Documentary, "The Great Ride", which can be seen here (highly recommended if you are planning to ride or hike the trail).
• The Great Ride
My favorite stops were for the various small 'waterfalls', such as the Red Waterfall, and other bespoke trail features/art, which you'll have to watch the video to see. Totally worth it.

Hi Jim. Nice video! I believe Roundbottom is just outside of Connellsville.
