My daughter and I took a ride the Westmoreland Heritage Trail from Delmont, PA to Saltsburg and then rode the West Penn Trail for about four miles before turning back. All-in-all about 25 miles. The West Penn Trail gets a wee bit rough here and there but nothing a road bike couldn't handle (my daughter and I had Trek hybrids). Pretty pleasant except for the jackwagon on a four-wheeler and his friend on a minibike.

Sounds like a lovely ride.
I haven’t heard the term ‘jackwagon’ since leaving the Bridgeville side of Upper St. Clair in 1969.

I have the privilege of riding in Colorado this week.
Bike is a borrowed Cannondale touring bike from mid 90's I think.
Weather is such a welcome respite here at around 6800 elevation.
Lows are 45 to 50 degrees and highs of 80 to 85.
In the Dallas area lows are 80 to 84 and highs of 100 to 105 or sometime a few degrees more.
I see why so many folks love Colorado.
But then again there are the winters here and I'm not into winter sports plus the cost of living and real estate prices are much higher than the Dallas Ft Worth area of Texas.
The aspen and pine trees are so awesome!

I took my old and crappy crescent 1943 bike for a drive to work and back (14 kilometer/ 8 miles). This bike have been standing still in a old farm house for 60 years+. I got it in may, both front and back tire are orginal from the 40-50 ties, al I had to do was to change on of the hose. The bike look like a nightmare but it still runs

After the big storms came through on Tuesday afternoon, yesterday was bright, sunny and cooler with lower humidity. Nice day for a 30 mile Cross County Trail scamper on the 88 Cannondale ST, part of which was with my 8-year old grandson.

About a month ago, I started riding again after a long hiatus. Picking up this '96 Trek Singletrack was very cool and I've slowly been getting it back to a rideable bike. Today was day #2 of riding. I got on the Centennial Trail in Snohomish, WA and road about 12 miles. It felt great and I love the larger cushion of the tires over my 28c's on my Surly.

I spent another hour or a bit over riding around Steamboat Springs, CO this morning.
The person that carved this bear and eagles out of a dead tree along the bike path has exceptionally good carving skills! Very impressive!
Here's an interesting motel sign that I suppose is named after the mountain pass you cross coming into Steamboat Springs.
In light of the above threads that mentioned vintage Trek mtbs I'll add this Trek 950 from 1989 or 1990 which are similar.
I had one of each year at one point in this same bright blue color.
I just saw it this morning at a 2nd hand sports store in town has it for sale for about 75 bucks.

Not on the bike just now but having a drink while my buddy across the way has some grass and a rest as it's gotten up to 89 this afternoon.
Earlier a female and juvenile were munching on some landscaping.
Don't worry I'm keeping a safe distance.

Took my '88 Miele AzSora on tonight's Trample ride hosted by Redemptive Cycle. Destination was a parking lot at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex to view the Swiftnado at a nearby chimney.
The C&V Lean Tree - my Miele and a Trek 930 Singletrack.
Just a few of the hundreds of swifts using this chimney during their migration.
Some wonderful murals on the side of the building where we stopped.
