The Big Deal Ride
The Great Allegheny Passage trail is a 164 mile gem that runs from Cumberland and ends at Point state park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Big Deal ride take you along some of the best parts of the trail. Our amazing staff will shuttle you and your bicycle from the shop in downtown Cumberland to the trailhead in Deal, PA. From there, it is a 25mile ride back to Cumberland, the best part – It’s all downhill.
