After a weekend of rain :the weather finally turned sunny. So Ray , Joe and
I took our recumbent’s to the Pine Creek bike trail. Click here for a map of the trail. The trail is located near Wellsboro, PA.
Joe has a long wheelbase recumbent and Ray and I have short wheelbase recumbents. We ride recumbents because of our bad backs and their more comfortable to ride then a upright bike.
We went to the Darling Run Trail head on the first day. We went north to Wellsboro Junction. The trail was very scenic. We stopped at a ice creme shop at the end of the trail. We then rode back to the trail head.
The next day we went south on the trail to Blackwell. The trail went
along Pine Creek. The gorge was very deep. The cyclist riding on the
trail were very friendly. We met five young Mennonites riding from
Lancaster.
It was a perfect day for riding. The leaves were very colorful. You
could hear Pine Creek rapids flowing. You could see the rock cliffs
from deep in the canyon on the bike path
On the last day we hiked to the Leonard Harrison State park. Their was a nice overlook of the canyon. On the other side of Pine Creek is the Colton Point State Park. We did a short hike at the park and viewed the overlook. You could see the
bike trail from the overlook. We left the park and headed home.
On the way home we stopped at the Kinzua Viaduct. The viaduct was
recently rebuilt after being hit by a tornado in 2003.Only about half the bridge is left. There is a glass floor. You can see the valley below by looking at your feet.
It was cold in the morning, but it warm up during the day. With the leave starting to change, the Pine Creek Flowing along the bike path, it made for a very scenic ride on the Pine Creek Trail. Their was many things to see and do. But we only their for three days did not give us enough time to see it all. I will have to go back next year and spend more time their.
Cool, Jim. Beautiful scenery, lucky you! Thanks for sharing your video.
