This week’s ride took us to Rockwood, PA, and we rode southeast past Garrett. Here are some of the sights along the way. This farm sits right along the side of the trail… …and we spooked a few guinea hens who weren’t very happy we were there. The clouds decided to be drama queens, too. And then there’s the Casselman River. Of …
Walking the trail (because it’s cheaper than paying a therapist)
As my husband so intelligently pointed out to me, he’d rather take me for a walk on the trail than foot the bill for therapy. So here’s today’s “Go get the stink blown off you” pictures from the trail. And then this one, which isn’t a joke. I’m thinking the businesses at the End were constantly having to answer the question about …
Today’s bike ride: I so needed this
We attempted another trail ride today since the last time out the trail was a little mushy, and because…SUNSHINE! Not to mention the melancholic week I’m having. This time we started our ride from West Newton, PA, and went a little over 8½ miles before we turned around. The temperature made it to around 74° and we got to soak in …
Our first bike ride of the year
It’s really (really) difficult to stay inside and watch a beautiful day go to waste, so we braved the tiny bit of a chill and headed for the woods. This time we started in Connellsville (this section on the Great Allegheny Passage is considered part of the Yough River Trail) and headed southeast toward Camp Carmel with the intention of turning around …
Mental health day on the bike trail
Took a much-needed break from the same four walls and hiked a bit on the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail near Ohiopyle.
Bike trail hike
Absolutely gorgeous day, so we took advantage of it, taking a walk on the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail at Ohiopyle. Too cold for bikes so we swapped them out for our hiking boots. Such incredibly blue skies.
Mental Health Day on the Bike Trail
I work at a computer in a room without a view. Well, there’s a view, but it’s through a window that’s behind me, and I don’t get much done if I sit and stare out of it as much as I’d like. So we decided the day was warm enough, and the rain was crossing its legs, and we weren’t getting …
GAP bike trail: Confluence to Pinkerton Tunnel
Today’s bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage took us from Confluence, PA to the Pinkerton Tunnel (please consider donating to get this tunnel back into usable condition) on the other side of Fort Hill, PA. And then, when we got back, the bonus came in the form of an incredibly delicious black bean burger chaser at the Lucky Dog Café.
Big Savage Tunnel (Great Allegheny Passage bike trail)
Went for a bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage today. We started in Meyersdale and rode through the Big Savage Tunnel. This is the Keystone Viaduct, which is closer to the Meyersdale end. And here’s the entrance to the tunnel heading east. That teeny tiny little light at the far end is the other end. It’s 3,294.6 feet long, …
Bike the Great Allegheny Passage
Biked the Great Allegheny Passage from Rockwood, PA to the Pinkerton Tunnel, near Fort Hill. (The standard action shot.) “Pinkerton 1911” engraved above the tunnel. Inside the tunnel itself. They’re raising funds to open it. Right now it’s closed with a path to get around that extends over a mile. Every dollar donated will be matched with an additional $17. …
Bike Trail!
Our first excursion on the Great Allegheny Passage this year! We started in Ohiopyle and rode to Ramcat (Pennsylvania). That’s only 18 miles, but considering we haven’t ridden since (I think) last September, I’m satisfied with it. Beautiful, beautiful day.
Wellsboro Bike Rides=Wildlife Adventure
A couple of weeks ago we trekked up to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, to spend some time on their rails to trails, but we weren’t ready for everything we saw while we were there. On our first day on the bike trail while we were riding along we saw a large animal on the trail ahead of us. When I exclaimed, “It’s a cat!” …
