Natrona Heights, PA to Pittsburgh, PA

Today’s urban ride will include the heaviest traffic prior to arriving in DC.  Traffic will be present.  Group riding and helmets are a must.  We will follow the Allegheny River south eventually crossing into downtown for a rally with speakers and a marching band.  There will be a group ride where local cyclists can join us for the last several miles of the route.  After the rally we will eat then report to the venue for that evening’s concert (venue TBA).  Socially conscious singer song-writer and community leader Mike Stout will perform that evening and cyclists will be hosted by local families.
