Riding tandem in our Honda Fit (Sue sitting in the back seat behind the driver) with our tandem bike on the opposite side of the car caused other motorists to give us a double take, especially as we approached DC where we were in lots of Friday evening rush hour stop and go traffic.
It was a long day of driving. We drove to Washinton DC and picked up a rental van at Reagan International. Then, we both drove to the DC hotel where we will stay when we return to DC on our bike. The DC hotel graciously agreed to let us park the Fit in their parking lot for the week while we ride back. We moved everything from the Fit into the van, grabbed a quick bite to eat, and then headed out to New Stanton, Pa (about 45 minutes outside of Pittsburg) for the night. We didn't get in until 12:30 am.
We'll start a little later tomorrow because it's forecasted to rain very hard in the morning. Hopefully it will clear off for us in the afternoon.

The Route:
Assuming all goes well, we will be riding the 150 mile long Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD and then 185 mile long C&O Canal Path from Cumberland, MD to Washington DC over the next 7 days.
