We've been tracking the weather forecast during the trip, and it is starting to turn against us. As you can see in the graphic below, the day started off rainy and cool. As a workaround, we used the SUV to transport the riders, bikes, and bags to today's destination. We moved all six riders and their gear in two separate SUV trips.
The drive from Frostburg to Connellsville took about three hours per round trip. The first group of riders arrived in Connellsville around 10:00 AM just as the rain stopped. They decided to hop on their bikes and put some miles in. Fortunately, the rain stayed away, allowing them to ride 25 miles toward Pittsburgh, grab lunch, and return. It turned out to be a great ride for an otherwise iffy day!
Frank and I were in the second group. Keith arrived to pick us up at noon. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at a roadside diner. We then visited Fort Necessity National Battlefield—the historic site where George Washington was involved in the start of the French and Indian War while serving the British.
We are hoping for better weather and a bit of good fortune tomorrow!
