On The Youghigheny River Trail

Today we rode over 50 miles on crushed limestone along the Youghigheny River Trail (YRT) in southwestern Pennsylvania. To get there e had to ride busy roads filled with Monday morning rush hour traffic including many dump trucks and fracking related traffic.  After 35 miles of that, it was great to get onto the YRT.  The total mileage for the day was 87.4 miles.  We started in Washington PA and ended in Confluence PA.  We are camping again tonight at a State Campground in Confluence.  The weather was absolutely perfect again. High temps in the low 70's, no humidity, and crystal clear skies.  It seemed like a fall day in October.
