BOC Fall Foliage Bike Ride – Saturday, October 11th at 11:00AM (Allegheny River Trail – Emlenton)
| Allegheny River Trail – Out and Back Emlenton trailhead to turn around point situated one mile beyond the Kennerdell tunnel. This is the point where the paved Allegheny River Trail becomes an unpaved road. Total Mileage: 27.3 Take I-80 East to Emlenton Exit #42. Take Route 208 East to Emlenton. Cross the Allegheny River into Emlenton. Take a left at the stop sign. Parking is ahead on the right. Parking at the trailhead at this time of the year can be “iffy” as many riders take advantage of seeing the fall colors on the river trail. An alternative area for parking is the Emlenton post office. This parking lot is located on the right side of main street – just before entry to the main trailhead parking area. The Emlenton Truck Plaza at Exit 42 has civilized facilities. There may be a port-a-john box at the Emlenton trailhead. This box is pulled at some point at the end of the riding season. It may (or may not) be there. There are no facilities along the trail… other than what you may discover. We will gather for our ride at 11:00 AM at the start of the trail. This spot is located in the trailhead parking area and marked by yellow bollards. We’ll check roll call and waiver sign offs and then head out for the quiet scenic beauty of the ART. Lights are recommended in the Kennerdell and Rockdale tunnels for your safety as well as the safety of others. Post Ride Social Time (Optional) Two establishments – both associated with each other and located side-by-side on the main street. Food from “Little It” may be brought into the “50 Shades” establishment. “50 Shades” opens at 2:00 PM on Saturdays; hence the 11:00 AM start time. Sleep in – ride in the autumn colors – eat Italian food – have a glass of wine or mug of beer. There’s no better offer out there. Please notify Tom V. or Rich T. if you plan to attend at creekfishing40@gmail.com or rich1946.rt@gmail.com in case we have to cancel because of the weather.
