Riding in Johnstown, PA?
My wife and I are going to be heading to Johnstown, PA for a social function of hers and I will have some time to get some riding in. Any recommendations on roads or routes to go out and ride on? Anything to watch out for?

I was in Johnstown this past weekend and was planning on doing the Ghost Town Trail but found out it was a little too far out of town. I found a local bike shop and asked for route recommendations and ended up going out on a route that they use for their group ride. I think it was route 925. I stayed on that for a few miles and then turned off onto Covered Bridge Road (had a very nice covered bridge) and stayed on that. It turned into a gravel muddy road and seemed like the never ending hill. The temperature wasn't more than 45-48 degrees at the time of the morning I went out riding. That and it started to rain which made for not stellar conditions. I got in a good and short ride before I turned back to my car due to the rain and cold. If I am ever out in the area and have more time, I'd like to explore the Ghost Town Trail.
