I'm planning a bike trip from DC to Pittsburgh then Pittsburgh to Johnstown in October. I'm also from FL (near Tampa) and if you'd be interested, im doing the exact same thing you are, just in a shorter time-frame and distance.
I have almost everything I'll need, minus food purchased and weighed.
I'm prepared to go solo but a riding partner / end of day campsite occupant bro wouldn't be a terrible idea, both for safety and survival.
Side note: if you haven't been training or haven't ridden multi-day rides recently, you may want to start now and prepare your body (and bum)
