Mostly road, a little bit of Gravel. Trying to get ready for a bike camping trip from Pittsburgh to D. C. Anyone else on Strava?

Not for social purposes.
Can you share more about your planned trip? How many days? Entire distance? Is your route and campsites already planned out or are you roughing it and just planting yourself wherever you end up at the day of riding?
I think my days of decent distance are long behind me. At my best I could only do 40 miles in the mountains of Western NC(mountainbiking). Now that I live in coastal VA, the lack of accessibility to decent singletrack forces me to ride on pavement, which I loathe. I’m currently doing about 17 to 20 miles a day but any more than that and my physical limitations show themselves and it can ruin entire days after the ride. Also, since I don’t enjoy riding pavement, it’s not really a type of ride that makes you want to push through your limitations.

Heck yeah that’s awesome! I just went on my first bike camping trip a couple of weeks ago. It was a challenge but such a great experience. I have a Strava profile but since it makes you pay to check out user made routes and make your own I switched to ridewithgps; it seems to be more popular where I live, too.
