What an awesome start to the day: a bike ride / commute to work. An early spring morning -  with buds starting to turn, daffodils everywhere, birds chirping and layers needed to take off the chill. My favorite biking weather. I started road biking about 2 years ago and I am hooked, especially since riding in the Laurel Highlands is spectacular! The rides seem endless with the perfect combination of hills to climb and cruiser roads. You have to be a tad careful since "share the lane" isn't all that well know in these parts. On some roads, the shoulder is non-existent and cars tend to speed along the backroads. But at the same time, there isn't a lot of traffic. 
 
A lot of great rides start straight out of Ohiopyle. Get ready though - a good climb will greet you in any direction. Rt 381 is a Scenic Byway running through the Laurel Highlands. If you ride south out of Ohiopyle, you can stay on RT 381 all the way to Wharton Furnace road. Turn right until you come to Fayette Springs Road. Turn right again and you'll ride past Christian Clay Winery. Cross RT 40, hop on the Ohiopyle Chalk Hill Road and enjoy a mostly downhill cruise back to Ohiopyle. It's not a super long route, maybe 30 miles or so, but a nice cruise. That's just one of many options. Stop by Wilderness Voyageurs in Ohiopyle for other ideas. Not just road biking, Mountain Biking, hiking and just general information. It's also a great place to pick up biking gear and general outdoor gear. There is usually a bike mechanic on duty.
