FreeWheeling Easy: Trip Reports |

In September of 1997, we rode from Washington DC to near Pittsburgh Pa,
using the C&O Canal Towpath and the rail-trails of
the Allegheny Trail
Alliance as much as possible. As a side effect of the September 1997 trip, we compiled a cue sheet with directions for the road segments that bridge gaps in the current trail. In March 1997 we spent a few days riding in the Washington DC area. They have been creative and aggressive about developing trails. In a number of cases, incorporating the trail with other transportation has been challenging. Some of their solutions to these problems may inspire other trail builders. We took pictures of some of these solutions to trail construction challenges.
