Trail-A-Bration '99
Washington DC to Pittsburgh PA June 20 1999
Celebrate inter-city trails on the C&O Canal Towpath and the rail-trails of the Allegheny Trail Alliance by riding the last day of Yokatomactrek '99

A group of riders will start the Yokatomactrek in Washington DC and spend a bit over week riding westward. The Trail-A-Bration will share the last day of that trip.

Everyone is welcome to join the ride for the final day or even the whole weekend. We hope to have a few hundred people on the Trail-A-Bration.
