That is a stunning photograph!

Both are the Allegheny River trail. The dirt trail is between Emlenton and Foxburg where they haven't paved yet and is just basically a quad trail. I wasn't sure if you could get through to Foxburg and rode this one late evening. Rode through while light out this 6 miles, rode the 2.5 miles of paved Foxburg to Parker, then tinkered a bit past Parker to see what was on that side, which was huge mudholes that I had to push the bike between the trees to go around. About 3 miles into that figured I'd best turn around as I didn't want to navigate the mudholes in the dark, rode back to Foxburg in twighlight, and rode in the woods on the dirt trail from Foxburg back to Emlenton in complete darkness (two 38 lumen flashlights mounted on my handlebars.) Riding the kinda narrow trail in the dark was really cool. All the noises in the trees beside the trail a foot to your right you don't know if it is deer, bear, or Sasquatch
. I think I remember there was at least 4 deer that appeared in my lights which don't project very far onto the trail.
Most of the people I've talked to on weekends on the Allegheny River trail has been from Ohio. There are a few locals that I see daily of the older generation. It gets pretty packed on the weekends, I might see up to 6 people in my 1 - 1.5 hours of riding, LOL.
