a friend and i have the weekend to bike camp. we wanna go on the panhandle trail to try it out. anyone have any suggestions on a good route from the panhandle to keep going? or places to go from there? we're leaving friday afternoon, and will want to be back sunday night.
if anyone has any experience riding in that area would be awesome. thanks!
Are you looking for roads off the Panhandle trail but still in PA? I'm not quite sure what you're asking for.
Some of the finest riding in PA is off the Panhandle. Pretty hard to go wrong. I'm happy to suggest roads if you need it.
yeah, either in pa, or w va. it doesn't really matter, we just want to have a weekend of riding and neither of us have used the panhandle trail before so we thought we'd use that area as our starting point for a direction to head. road suggestions would be great if you got'em.
I'm not sure I can help much, but as far as bike camping that involves the Panhandle, maybe a trip that starts on the Panhandle and intercepts the Montour Trail to use the campground at Montour MP26?
When you hit burgettstown there is a valley
road that takes you maybe 6 miles along the
trail. IT is one of the best roads around,
takes you all the way into Collier WV, I
would get off the trail and ride that.
Fancis mine -> bartleyville -> harmon creek
Raccoon Creek has some nice camping areas, and isn't too far from the Panhandle Trail.
cool, thanks for all the feedback!
As I said, you'd be hard pressed to go wrong with almost any road off the Panhandle Trail. Some that are rad are:
Noblestown Rd
Fort Cherry Rd
Any of the Bulger roads
Honestly any road you take off the trail past McDonald is really good.
