I woke up after a solid sleep ready to go, I left the Motel at 9 AM and walked my bike across the street to Ohiopyle Coffee Company. A 16 ounce black coffee and a bacon and egg on bagel sandwich and I am ready to go.
I’m not long on the trail before seeing loaded bikes being ridden by hungry bicycle travelers looking for food to continue towards Cumberland and beyond. This part of the trail has many hiking trails heading off into the forest.
Now I’m five miles out of Ohiopyle and the hiking trails are behind and I find solitude riding along the river through lush forest.
I pass through an area that had mudslides and trees blown across the trail from the April 1st storm. I also pass by many waterfalls.
I am heading to the Cedar Creek Trekker Campground to sleep in an Adirondack Shelter by the edge of the river.
I have set up for the night and now it’s time to cook dinner.
