RSVP on eventbrite
Get Up and Ride is the #1 selling memoir book about the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail! Join local author Jim Shea and his riding companion and brother-in-law, Marty, as they talk about their 335-mile cycling adventure from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC and the book that came afterwards. “A Cycling Version of A Walk in the Woods,” says one reviewer. Get Up and Ride is the humorous true story of the duo’s escapades, interleaved with the history of the places along the trail. Originally from the DC area, Jim is a technology marketing/sales executive who came to Pittsburgh by way of Silicon Valley. He and Marty have cycled the GAP and C&O Canal trails to DC three times and are currently contemplating their next adventure.
