The Great Allegheny Passage is one of the premier bicycle touring routes in the eastern half of the US. It stretches from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD over a gloriously mountainy 150 miles of crushed limestone paralleling some of the great rivers of western Pennsylvania. My plan was to grab a cheap bus to Pittsburgh and a train home. On this edition of the Journal, we follow along on Days 0-1 of the adventure as I ride the bus to Pittsburgh, and get rolling through the industrial parts of western PA.
