Myself, my wife and some friends will be travelling to Pennsylvania the first 2 weeks in August.
My wife and friends will be attending an event located at Coopers Campground which is about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh.

Since I do not participate much in their interests, I will be doing some cycling there - bringing both road and mountain bike.
Can anyone here give me some details on a good on-road cycling route, or a few good routes in that area? Maybe some short rides of up to 50km and a few longer ones up to 200km.
Anywhere to ride a mountain bike there? I won't have much access to a vehicle if I have to transport my MTB bike, but of course I don't mind riding to a trailhead either, but not a huge distance or anything (say less than 10km).
I have an aerial photo of the Coopers Lake campground and it shows some pretty wide shoulders on the I-79. What's the riding like on that highway? Or should I avoid it?
I'll of course be doing some searching on the internet, but any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks!
