Photos of the GAP - with riders

I am on a mission to find some amazing photos of the GAP with riders having a great time on it. I know there are some great photographers on the board, anyone have anything they would be willing to license for commercial use? I can, of course, include photos credits when they are used and will pay. Ideally I'm looking for riders in their 40s to 60s, on the GAP, actually enjoying themselves:) Any photos or ideas are very welcome. Thank you!

Sara, thanks. You never know! If there is a link to your flickr that would work. Can you DM me?

You may want to try Jake Lynch at the rail-to-trail conservancy... I think he's their primary photographer for their annual sojourn which tends to be that age-bracket. What's your time frame? I'll be riding the GAP sometime this summer and it's always fun to have a photographic mission along the way.

Try calling Betsy Manderino in West Newton. http://www.trailphotos.biz/ She works at the trailhead there sometimes, and opened a photography studio next door to the office. She takes a lot of pictures on the local trails and is a very good photographer.

Mary Shaw and Roy Weil have ridden it a couple of times. I'd bet Mary has some great photos.

Sarah. I added 10-12 more photos from the Pgh 250 event to my flickr site. They are mostly at the Point or on the EFT. I suspect you want a more rural stretch of the GAP for your purposes? Also, hard to convey age, happiness and concrete evidence of GAP in a single photo!

@srpgh and @Vannevar ride it often. I wonder if anyone has any pics of the two of them and I riding back from Connellsville after the Amtrak trip in October, with the trees at peak color.
