Part I of an out-and-back ride to evaluate an alternative to the route we used on Day 8, of Trans-Am Installment I. The original route had several roads un-suitable for bicycling. On this, the 2nd half of the Day 8 alternative, there are two short un-rideable segments. They total less than 0.3 miles in length. One is a set of steps, from the Cheat Lake Trail up to Lake Lynn Road. These steps are similar to city steps in Pittsburgh. The 2nd is a short stretch of Quarry Run Road where there are huge pot holes with large rocks protruding. Other than those two segments, the route is very rideable. If traveling East to West, if is mostly downhill.
