I am a 62 year old bike touring addict and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your video's. GREAT JOB making entertaining, interesting biking video's. It's been raining every weekend here in Western NY this Spring and these video's are what's keeping me sane as I patiently wait for favorable weather. Hope to see you out on one of the trails one of these days if it ever stops raining, LOL!
Even though I'm claustrophobic I like riding thru those creepy tunnels. So long as you keep moving it is OK and fun. When I reached the end of the Rockland Tunnel I had a flat tube - the bane of bikers! I had to walk all the way back thru the tunnel with just my bike light - bummer! But then, all experience is valuable. I'm going to ride it again in the winter, since my BeeCool Adventurer bike will ride in snow, so long as its not too deep.
Looking forward to riding this trail in beautiful autumn. I've done several in West Virginia, and am eager to do Pennsylvania. There are enough trails in PA to keep you occupied for a year. Enjoy!
Whenever I’m Jones’n for some bike action; I know where to look. This trail is one we’ll do soon. We do mostly out and back stuff. Rain is okay, but no way on the lightning. I’m okay with a little moderate winter riding as long as it’s ice free. Can’t wait to ride this trail.
Might be due to Halloween being around the corner - but thinking you should do a video on all the tunnels you have gone through. Not only were they on the spooky side - but your commentary through the ones on this trail had me 'howling' 😂
@@RideAlongAdventures 👻 sounds like a plan. I have to say - I sure hope you could see more than what the camera was showing. I will definitely be bringing a few more lights with me.
Great ride. Wow, this tunnel looks pitch black. It's like a little spec of the light at the end of the tunnel. You really need a headlight there to get through those tunnels. I like all the greenery on the trail. I can see some of the greenery in a couple of weeks on my C&O Canal Trail ride, looking forward 😊
Lol. Those tunnels were amazing. I met a family (who didn’t want to be on RUclips) coming out of the Kennerdale tunnel. The little kids were so excited to have survived!! 😀
I have ridden th Allegheny River Trail many times. A high quality bike light works much better than a headlamp. Lights from Cygolite, Nite Rider or something similar will suffice.
Thanks you are 100% correct. Santa brought me a new headlight that nearly blinded me when I turned it on. I’d like to get back out there this summer. So many trails to explore. Thanks for watching and for the advice. 🙏🏻
Nice Ride Bryan. I checked a map & that’s far NW PA. Something like a 5 hour plus drive from Philly. I’m glad you’re making shorter ride videos, as that’s more up my alley. Keep up the inspirational work. The next stop for me is my annual C&D trek.
I did that trail yesterday 4/29/2024 many asphalt cracks that were lifted made the ride uncomfortable. If there is an old rider they might loose their Dentures. Lol
Obviously lighting is an issue, I've been caught out in some bad storms hiking but so far been lucky on the bike. I've been in some rain biking, it only bothers me when I happen to be on a road. "the odds are better on a bike than at home on the couch" lol
I’ve only crashed one time and that was in the rain when a car sort of pushed me over onto the slippery white line. I didn’t stand a chance. And fortunately I fell into the grass rather than into the road.
My favorite way to do these trails is so car camp. I will ride out 25-30 miles and then back to my car and shower at a Planet Fitness, make something to eat, drive back and go to sleep. Wake up the next morning, drive to the spot where I stopped at the day before and ride out from that spot 25 miles and back. Time consuming, but, it saves me a load of money and I get to "out and back" the trail.
It’s definitely a good option. I’d also add it provides some needed shelter at certain times. I have to admit that I find the whole “van life” or “mobile life” community very interesting. I need to look into the planet fitness thing more closely-you’re actually the second person to mention that just today! I’m still trying to figure out why there are so many laws/regulations against sleeping in your car/van. Seems harmless.
The combination of information about the trail and your sense of humour, make your bike touring videos some of the best on youtube. Many thanks.
Thanks, Matthew. Always trying to improve these videos so thanks for the feedback.
@@RideAlongAdventuresI agree with Matthew completely, Bryan. You bring quality audio video sharing. Thanks as always.

Glad you like them! The rain shall pass. Sooner or later. Then we can all get back to our addiction! 😂

Lol. That’s a great idea…I could mix in that old haunted house audio.

I really like the blue outline on the video frame indicating the video progress. Nice touch!
Thank you! Cheers!

Beautiful my friend ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Another stunning Pennsylvania trail! And that Penguin laugh, as always :) Hweh hweh hweh!

lol...penguin laugh. I love it. PA is a rail trail paradise.
Is the pavement bumpy most of the way.
Thanks for the great video
There are some rough spots and I'm sure more will pop up as tree roots expand. it's just the downside of paved trails.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s a haul for sure. The C&D is always a favorite. Enjoy!

agreed. There are some very rough patches in there. Kind of hard to avoid the root systems from nearby trees.

Gosh, this is one of my favorite spots, and I love all the camp shelters. Early memories of our beginning of bike touring 25 minutes from our house !!
That is awesome!
