Pittsburgh to Philadelphia with Justin and Gary 2005.05

Following the 2005 Dad Vail regatta in Philadelphia, we left my truck in Philly, got a ride back to Pittsburgh with the CMU Crew Team, and then rode our bikes from my apartment in Squirrel Hill to the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, and then on to my truck, which was parked at Justin's dad's place. We rode 4 consecutive centuries on 4 consecutive days. I suggest getting in some miles before undertaking such a trip.
