About "Get Up and Ride"

---

In the summer of 2010, brothers-in-law Marty and Jim embark on a cycling trip along the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal, a 335-mile trek from their adopted home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Jim's boyhood home in Washington, DC.  Chance encounters with colorful local characters and other surprising escapades during five days of riding make for nonstop laughs.

As they travel through forests and along rivers, they experience the breathtaking scenery of western Pennsylvania and Maryland, discovering early American history while learning more about each other as well as themselves.  

This true story is for adventurers and cyclists as well as couch potatoes looking for a lighthearted take on friendship and some warm-hearted fun.
