A Week in the Hills

Three intrepid ‘Burgsmen took to the converted railroad bed running between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.  for a wild close-to-home 325-mile six-day bicycle adventure earlier this month.

Nate Shearer captures the trip in words and images on his beautiful blog, Soil Sample:  “We knew from the very first night we were in for an adventure. . . . Light rain peppered our tents during the night and I awaken to the sun rising over the far side of the river, slightly soggy and cold footed.  We pack up and make our way up a steep muddy slope and head out on the trail as the sun burns off the morning fog . . . .”
