Montour Junction to Junction Station and Back Again 🚲

I biked 38.2 miles today on my 🍵 Green Tea bike.

✨ About this Ride

What an awesome ride! That was definitely the toughest ride I’ve done so far and I’m really pleased with my performance!

I started at Montour Trail’s origins in Coraopolis for a few reasons:

• maximize ride time by minimizing drive time
• a desire to get very used to riding Montour Trail

I have a big picture goal of being able to bike from Coraopolis (where I live) to Weirton, West Virginia one day. To support that goal, I want to become very familiar with the portions of Montour I’d traverse on that route.

On today’s ride, I achieved another goal that I’d had in mind: ride form Montour mile zero to the Montour Panhandle Trail Connector!

⛰️ The Climbs

On the return ride, I knew that I just had to make it to Boggs and then I would be golden. I have dubbed the five mile stretch from Fort Cherry to Boggs the Montour Roller Coaster for reasons that might be apparent if you take a look at the elevation change:

🌇 Back to Zero

Dusk had arrived as my ride ended. Losing the light offered some additional motivation to get to the trailhead I started at as quickly as possible.
