✨ About this Ride

I focused on the portion of Montour Trail that connects mile marker 0 to Coraopolis. The Cory Branch of Montour Trail is the section of the trail I walk, run and bike most often. The trail runs along the ⚽ Pittsburgh Riverhounds training facility though traffic there doesn’t lead to a busier trail. This was my second ride with my new helmet and I definitely prefer it to the old one. Near the waters of Montour Run in the evenings, the bugs are many. I need to bring and wear glasses.

💬 Description

The geometry of my new bike isn’t great for my shoulder rn so I’m trying to keep it light. I could ride a different bike but… I’m stubborn.

🧪 Weather Impact: Mild temperature and low humidity enhanced comfort; gentle wind minimized exertion levels.
