Maybe:

Thinking of riding from McKeesport to Washington D.C in July. Thoughts from anyone? Well, the Founding Fathers were in Philadelphia during July. They just about died from the heat and humidity. Didn't wear bike shorts either. But my birthday is 8 July and I turn 70. Probably up and about is suggested. Would leave from Pittsburgh, although parking wars is a consideration.

Not sure exactly what info you may be seeking. In a very simple summary, the trail conditions are generally good, I.e. dry, in July. It will likely be quite warm and humid especially the closer you get to DC. There will be a fair number of riders and campers making the trip that time of year before school starts. Also, don’t forget your bug spray. It can be quite muggy and buggy that time year.
