As Bike to Work Day draws to a close, there may be D.C. residents out there with new-found confidence in their biking skills. Why not test it out with a 330-mile trip to Western Pennsylvania?

Bikers can now travel between Washington and Pittsburgh using National Park Service trails, with the completion of the final segments of the Great Allegheny Passage, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

As the Associated Press points out, the Great Allegheny Passage bicycle trail links in Cumberland, Md. to the the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath, which will take bikers to the District. “The 150 miles of the GAP are converted railroad tracks that wind it’s way through the mountains of Pennsylvania while the C&O Canal trail was once a towpath used by merchants to pull barges full of freight from the Chesapeake Bay to customers up the Potomac valley,” according to a Web site about the Passage.

The Post-Gazette reports that an official celebration to open the trail will be held on June 15. If newbie bikers leave now, they may make it in time.
