Finally!  My husband Rick and I were able to get out and do our warm up ride.  The weather was cloudy but at least it was dry out.  Geez Louise, it's been a wet and cold April  so far and Rick and I were just itching to get out and do that first ride of the season.  We'd just gotten our road bikes and our mountain bikes tuned up too.  \n\nWe started at our home in Squirrel Hill, then went through Schenley Park down to the Eliza Furnace Trail.  From there we took the trail downtown and headed over to Station Square.  From there we took the Great Allegheny Passage Trail to the Hot Metal Bridge and return.\n\nThe Eliza Furnace Trail still isn't much to look at.  Eventually it'll be part of the Great Allegheny Passage connecting Pittsburgh and McKeesport with Ohiopyle and Cumberland.  But for now it's good for a connecting trail or if you're doing a warm up or short ride.  \n\nOh and Rick and I are building up towards a McKeesport-Cumberland ride later this year.
