500mi Back-country bicycle tour, Yo-Yo from Pittsburgh to DC and back, packing everything from start to finish. Route was Great Cumberland Gap Rail-Trail to the C&O Canal Towpath
Hadn't been on a bike in years, but was worth the searing knee pain.
We spent days and days popping tires on the shale and flint, and when we weren't in that, we were in 4 in of mud and torrental rain, being eaten alive by mosquitos.
We did it on a total expenditure of 35usd.
