Day 1: Pittsburgh.

I was grateful to arrive in Pittsburgh almost an hour late. Since the sun wasn't up, I took my time putting my bike together. As I walked by the baggage car there were a bunch of bicyclists handing their bikes to an attendant to hang in the car for their trip to Cumberland. This is a new service, so riders can ride the train one way and bicycle back. Cumberland is the meeting point for the GAP from Pittsburgh & the C&O from DC.
