Ride Has Changed!

The ride has now changed!  The insurance company will not give us permission to ride up the hill
into Lower Burrell.

We will still be riding from Freeport and headed to the Treadway Trail but we will not ride to New Kensington.

Depending upon interest, we may ride on the Butler Freeport Trail as well.

Sorry.
