I've got about four rides in since the last entry. One in Pittsburgh, one at Gambrill, one at Greenbrier, and one at Wakefield. All were great, but the crappy overcast weather not only takes away our riding opportunities, it also removes our motivation to do ... anything.
I've said this before and many people say the same thing, "I can handle the cold and I can handle the wet, but I can't handle them together." It's not quite as bad as during the spring when everything is thawing. At least in the winter after it rains, there is a possibility that it wil freeze up. When the ground hardens up because of the cold you can still go out there without a guilty conscience.
So I still owe you a Pittsburgh experience. That'll come later. Right now I'm going for a road spin in the drizzle butI have to hurry and get back before the furniture delivery guys get here. Later.

gwadzilla,
I've only ridden in Pitt twice, both times for the Dirt Rag Punk Bike Enduro. They posted a map of the trails we rode for the event here: http://tinyurl.com/5bpdr
