Hello!

I’m following my lifelong dream to ride my bike across the United States.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 11: West Newton, PA to Pittsburgh, PA (33.0 miles)

The group was pretty excited about a day off in Pittsburgh, and broke camp quickly, even today’s ride was “only” 33 miles. Beautiful, leisurely ride on the GAP trail through Buena Vista, Boston, Liberty, McKeesport, and West Mifflin. We arrived at the Southside Traveler’s Rest Hostel in the Southside area of Pittsburgh.
