The ride to Pittsburgh is over. Here I am by our AirBnB. It's before noon.
I only rode 30 miles today. My plan was to finish in time to watch the Ravens preseason game in a bar somewhere. Such a bar does not exist in Pittsburgh.
Most of the ride was very easy, but Shadyside is way up high and the GAP trail is way down low, so I had to do a big climb in Pittsburgh. Strava routed me on a "road" in Frick park which was fairly direct with a reasonable grade, but the road turned out to be a barely paved or gravel walking path, so that took a long time.
There was also a bit of a climb to get over this ginormous bridge:
I thoroughly researched the nonexistent options for watching the Ravens, replenishing my electrolytes thoroughly along the way with several Bloody Marys. No celery was observed at any point. What is going on here?
Instead of watching football, I walked around the Shadyside Art Expo, which was six blocks of vendors selling extremely ugly art for the arriving college students to hang in their dorm rooms.
