This is an older section of the trail and it is narrower and the centre is overgrown. The width of the Catrike meant that at least one wheel was in the grass.

The end of the trail, well I needed to ride back and pick up the car. George met me in Connellsville, took me back to his B&B and provided fresh lemonade as well as inviting me to take a shower as well. Afterwards George had me follow him to the road to West Newton.

The B&B we stayed at is just to the left of the station building.
