We did another OTB urban ride Monday night. We started with 8 and lost one. We cranked down to the end of the trail towards the Glenwood Bridge, this part of the trail isn’t complete yet so it just ends in a turn-around.
Then we took the trail back to Station Square and then across the Fort Pitt Bridge. Around the Point, we found a nice beginner drop and a burnt to the ground golf cart. Over to the north shore. We stopped at Bettis’s for a drink, which took way too long to get. We might have to reconsider wearing our OTB jerseys. Down to Heinz field to play on the steps, a favorite spot. I made it up the side walls this time, after a few tries. To the 6th street bridge and then some more trails, caught the jail trail to the Hot Metal bridge and then back to OTB for a free round and some good food.

I think the next ride is Monday the 13th.
Some more pictures on my photo stream. I also shot a little video.

Hartwood Acres Trail Care Day This SATURDAY

From Maurice:
"Meet at the Hartwood parking lot on Middle Road at 10:00a.m. on June 27th (lot near the concert stage). PTAG's experienced crew leaderswill be on hand to direct the volunteers, as we work together to improve the drainage and fix troublesome wet spots on the trails.Volunteers should bring work gloves, eye protection and wear sturdy boots. All necessary tools will be provided.

The work session will run from 10:00a.m until 1:00p.m. after which we'll re-group and enjoy cool beverages, compliments of PTAG and County Parks. Then we'll hit the trails for recreational purposes, either on foot and/or on mountain bike, depending on the group's interests. We love working on the trails, but playing on them is even better!

After we work up an appetite playing in the park, we'll head to J.D.'sPub/Restaurant on the corner of Harts Run Road and Saxonburg Blvd for some free pizza courtesy of the Friends of Hartwood and specially-priced draft beer. Thanks to J.D. and Friends of Hartwood for supporting the Hartwood volunteers!"
