Will be going next week. Is this ok for a gravel bike, or should I take a mountain bike?

[@pppjourneyonabike5992]

Hey Mary Jo...this is Preston (JourneyonaBike). Thank you for sharing your trip/video. On my list once I figure out logistics of where to park my truck for a couple nights....or may make my way there to or from the GAP on roads near where Sheepskin Trail is being planned/constructed Question: did you ride up to Point Marion? ...where the Sheepskin Trail is being designed/constructed

[@pathpedaler8535]

We were going to start at Point Marion but decided not to the trail was in no condition to ride it had just rained and was nothing but a mud hole! We filmed this episode early last summer.

I love your videos, but the picture of this video devolves into a mass of pixels around 5 minutes in.

[@pathpedaler8535]

I don't know what the problem is I just watched it and it played fine.

[@michaelbragg6903]

I didn’t see a problem unless he meant the raindrops on the camera.

[@chrislang8553]

Did you not continue to ride north to the Sheepskin Trail to Point Marion, PA?

[@pathpedaler8535]

No, we were on a tight schedule.
