Here’s a recent review from a couple who rode with us:

'330 miles of happiness from Pittsburgh to DC! Noble Invention organized an excellent tour for us, making the entire process a breeze. They curated a fantastic selection of accommodations for our 10-day ride along the GAP/C&O Canal and provided detailed instructions, including a GPX file, to guide us on our journey. The luggage transfer from hotel to hotel went off without a hitch. I highly recommend them to anyone considering this trip!'
We love hearing feedback from our riders! Check out what they have to say on our blog, The Spoke.
