Very nice, relaxing ride.

Canonsburg.

Rode on 982 to 31 to 711 north through Ligonier then 271 into Johnstown.

From there I took 403 north into Indiana county then 553 to 271 south back into Johnstown.

I am sure you know some of those roads.

Very scenic ride.

Nice! Lived in little po-dunk Ruffs Dale growing up along 31. Attended Pitt at Johnstown briefly but remember those late night drives on 711 & 271 in pitch black & rain storms & fog on bald tires in my crappy little Chrysler Laser back in like '91 😂🤣

95 miles to old western town Winthrop, WA. Drank a cup of hot Mocha and back. I'm glad I carried a jacket, got little nippy at 4000 ft. It's amazing how dressing warm makes a ride so much better in cold weather. I think I enjoy fall rides more than summer ones. I also crossed 49,000 miles on my scoot this ride.

I don't think mileage is a sole indicator. Time in the saddle. One hour on the Turnpike at 75 mph is 75 miles. One hour in rush hour stop-and-go traffic could be less than 10 miles.

Someone could spend 6 hours in traffic and still not do one hour's of riding at highway speed. So how is total mileage an accurate indicator? Time in the saddle more accurately tells the story.
