Falling Water, Rising Mountain

Day mileage 62. 4
Total Mileage 498.11
Campsite - Scottdale, PA

We rode on the Rail Trail for most of the day, it wasn't paved, but it was flat. We got off the trail at Bear Run to check out falling water, but what we didn't know was terrain of the road that took us there! it was by far the steepest mountain we had done, but luckily it wasn't very far away from falling water so we got there in time for the 2 oclock tour, and then got back on the rail trail. Before we left for the trip, Graham had signed up online for a Warm showers list. the deal is you can use anyone's shower on the list, but in return you have to offer your own shower for future passerbyers . So we found this guy who lived in Scottdale, which is close enough to the bike route for us to stop at and use his shower. Turn out he was the nicst person we had met so far; he offered us his shower, beds, a ride to a close by post office (Graham and Bryan had things sent to them there), he even paid for breakfast. Next day, we went to a library and didnt start riding till about 1 pm.
