$10.00EveryBody Outdoors Series: You Belong Here
People of every size, shape, and weight deserve the chance to experience the amazing benefits of time spent outdoors with others. Venture Outdoors welcomes active folks in larger bodies to get outside this year through its series of size-friendly outings, at a pace that is safe and comfortable for each person. Each trip listing will give you the information you need to decide if the outing is right for you: active time and pace, general route and terrain, and if any experience is needed. You can look forward to a variety of monthly activities throughout the year, all in a positive and welcoming atmosphere in which we will celebrate all shapes and sizes. Join us for one outing, join us for all. This is where you belong.
Cycling the North Side
It’s cycling season in the city, so let’s explore Pittsburgh’s rivers on two wheels! Join us as we cycle the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, experiencing the beauty of the beautiful waterfront area. This moderate 11-mile ride along the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers will take us from the Millvale Riverfront to the North Shore’s Allegheny Landing, through the Chateau area, down to the old Western Penitentiary, then back again to Millvale. We will start and end at the Millvale Riverfront Park next to the Three Rivers Rowing Association.
This relaxed ride of about 90 minutes will be on a combination of paved surfaces and packed gravel. There will be some gentle slopes, and as a no-drop ride, we always wait for the group at the top.
A bike and helmet are required for the outing.
Starting Location: Millvale Riverfront Park (70 River Front Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15209)
Distance: 11 mi
