Where to Ride Forum

I just bought my first bike but need a place to ride, I live in pittsburgh and what to know if theres anywhere to ride maybe in washington or somerset or butler or oakdale or anywhere.  

I can help you out on this one! I'm in PA too. There's a place called Rock Run Recreational Park. I just went there. They have lots of very nice trails going all through the mountains so there's also a very nice view along the way. They also have long dirt rodes that the trails connect to where you can just open your bike up. If you ride trails you gotta check this place out!

hay man i live in pgh also i ride every where the dumps the air port,40acers,pinchtown all the where in pgh do u live  

I live in carnegie near pittsburgh. I want to find a place  where i can ride but not like a park where you have to pay to ride, I just need some woods or coal hills or something.  

I'm going to Rausch Creek this weekend.  You have to pay but I can let you know what I think.  

i ride at the bethle/south park dumps. there are a lot of trails in finleyville. i've ridden at 40 acres before and there used to be some really good trails back there but i heard that you cant ride there anymore. look up green man's tunnel on google. its located in south park, that is where i ride.

O ya sorry i see now your right it says near the bottom.  

Honda250rider,

We found out there are actually two different places at Rausch Creek.  There is Rausch Creek MX Park and about 8 miles away from there is Rausch Creek Trail Riders.  We are going to Rausch Creek Trail Riders.  It sounds like you went to the MX park. I'll let you guys know how it is.  

For anyone interested:

Rausch Creek Trail Riders (Formerly TowerCity) was just OK in my opinion.  They have 8500 acres with several different trails. They have some long wide open trails where you can open up your bike. Also there are some good hill climbs. What I did not like was the trails are mainly old coal roads, there are a lot of rocky trails, and the trails are not uni directional.
