Biking GAP CandO to DC under24 hours 4 food bank

Living a few blocks from the GAP trail in the Southside, I've ridden to McKeesport and beyond more than a few times. As you ride through Duquesne, you pass a business park. I didn't really know that the Food Bank was there, right off the trail, until I saw those unforgettable images after the Covid-19 shutdown of people lined up in cars for miles waiting for food. Thats the impetus behind combining my ride on the trail with a fundraiser.

I'm leaving Friday September 25th in the morning for the 333 combined miles of the Greater Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal Towpath from the Point in Pittsburgh, to Mile 0 in Washington, DC. My goal is to ride straight through, with short periodic stops for food/water, in under 24 hours. This isn't going to be easy, but hopefully I can help raise some money in addition to achieving a goal that has long been simmering in the back of my mind.

Any contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.
