Alright, its down to the final hours. Just 12 hours left before I embark on the biggest journey I've ever undertaken... a 335 mile bike ride from Pittsburgh to Washington DC, in only 6 days! I can already tell it's going to be a blast! I'll try to post here when I make it to DC to let you all know if I survived :lol:

If you're interested in keeping up to date, I will be live tweeting from the trail on my personal account - so don't miss out on any of the action by heading to my profile:

Here's a little infographic I made for my Facebook Photography Page, detailing the traveling distance broken up into the 6 days! And as for the stars, those are the main points of interest on the trail! 8-)

Yay after passing 125 miles, it would be time for a downhill! Tell us what your trip was like when you finished. 8-)

Did you survive? Update: I saw you on Twitter, too, and knew you could run all miles! :D

Glad to inform you all... I did survive! And it was definitely a ride to remember - all 358 miles - through countless mishaps, crazy weather shifts, and funny moments that will be talked about around many campfires to come!

Here's our group at the beginning, in Point State Park in Pittsburgh PA:

And us finishing at mile marker 0 in Washington DC!

One flight of stairs? I don't want to get off the couch to grab my phone which is on the table on the other side of the room :P

JK, it actually isn't too bad. It's more of a mental "my god, are we there yet? I'm tired of constantly pedaling!" fatigue than a physical "I can't pedal anymore!". Just gotta work up to 50 miles in a day, you're set!

One last video! A 5-minute recap of the entire trip, made specifically for the rest of my boy scout troop. But I figured I'd share it here too! :D
