Anyone in Pittsburgh want to do some riding this weekend? I'm in the Cranberry area and wouldn't mind doing some exploring. |

Hi Blur...I am about 15 miles from Cranberry (Chippewa/Beaver Falls). My wife just had a baby a few days ago, so I am not likely to be going out riding this weekend. Just wanted to say "hi" to a local Bueller. |

Blur... Just wanted to say "hey". I'm a Pittsburgh native... actually from Aliquippa (Raccoon TWP to be precise). I visited fam there last summer.. unfortunately I didn't have my bikes PA has some beauty riding environs. Go Steelers! |

It's good to see some Bueller's around here. I'm still "new" to the area so don't know too many routes other than the major roads. Ponti, congrats on the baby. If your up for a quick local ride before it gets too cold hit me up. Xbud, I'll have to look up where Greensburg is but I'm going to try to stay local. My tire must have a slow leak and I don't want to get stranded. Have fun, I'm sure theres some good riding down there. Bag, I take it you don't live in the area anymore? I'll probably head up north for a bit, try to get away from some traffic. Thanks for the responses and hopefully we can do some riding pretty soon. |

hey Blur, welcome to the area...I'm in Morgantown (about 80 miles south). Loads of good roads around here...unfortunately headed south to Snowshoe this weekend. Shoot me a PM, fall foliage is pretty...if it stays dry-ish. BTW Ponti...congrats! |

Greensburg is east of Pitt, rt 30 takes you there. |

Greensburg is east of Pitt, rt 30 takes you there. Yep, and from Cranberry a quick jaunt about 30 minutes down the turnpike (76 east) is your fastest path there. Xbud, WV 250 is one of my favorite roads in the area. Well, not really in the area, but not too terribly far if you can commit the better part of the day to riding. How are the road conditions lately? I have not made it down there since the early part of the riding season. |

Blur, You're going the wrong way. You need to go south for the good stuff. Rt 250 south of Wheeling, WV, as mentioned, or anything in the WV panhandle/southeast Ohio. See: http://www.motoroads.net for good roads and routes. There are frequent rides from Avella, PA (steelcityriders.com) or Greentree, PA (sportbikealliance.com).

Thanks for the info and links guys. If the clouds clear up I'm gonna try out a route I found on one of the sites above. |

Clouds matter? Is your bike solar powered? It's not gonna rain, go have fun. |

I live under an hour away from Pittsburgh in Ohio. I would love to go riding with another 1125. I could show you some of my favorite southeast Ohio roads this weekend if you don't mind meeting somewhere halfway. |

1125, hit me up when you're planning on going out and we can try to make something happen. I forgot the WERA races are going on this weekend... might have to check that out. I don't work at westinghouse but I'm close to there. I sure feel the traffic that place pulls in. |

How are the road conditions lately? I have not made it down there since the early part of the riding season. Not bad, lots of traffic and wind, there is still a lot of beat up pavement on 250 north of Cameron, choose your line wisely, good fun all the way down to Hundred. Not a bad day, I couldn't commit to a full day of riding but I got my share in. |
