2009 Canal/GAP Bike Trip Schedule

This is the approximate schedule that we have done a few times (and it worked pretty well). The Canal milemarkers for various stops are given in (parentheses). There are many restaurants, but people will still need to bring some of their own food (dinner the first night and 2 breakfasts). A bunch of granola bars will do the job for these meals, if you can stand eating a bunch of them.
