22 in ‘22 Guided Trail Rides

There are approximately 22 scenic, car-free, bike paths in the region. Let’s explore them all together!  Bike every trail and fill out your passport along the way. Each trail is less than a 2-hour drive from Pittsburgh and we’ll bike between 10 – 24 miles.  Best of all, each ride includes a discussion of the landscape and history by Earth Science Excursions, LLC geologist Fred Zelt. 

Want to explore further? Check out the Wilds Weekends, where we’ll bike into the Pennsylvania Wilds.

Trip #2: Panhandle Trail

Let’s cycle a pleasant segment of the Panhandle Trail together!   The route is out and back, so if you want to pedal farther than the group at the turnaround or do a shorter trip by heading back before the group turnaround, the trip is designed to accommodate you.  

With due care at road crossings, kids, pets in carriers and e-bikes are welcome! We will pedal less than 22 miles on the fine crushed stone and asphalt of this excellent rail trail, conveniently ending at Helicon Brewing near where we started in Oakdale. 

Bicycle helmets are required.  The week before the excursion we will send those who have registered an email with more information about the path we will be cycling, what to bring and exactly when and where to meet at the start. If you want to rent a bike, we can recommend a bike rental and help transport up to three bikes. This trip is offered in partnership with Earth Science Excursions, LLC.
