Pittsburgh Never Tasted So Sweet

Never would I have thought that arriving in Pittsburgh would be so exciting. But not only is it home to the Pirates, a 35% grade hill (that some of the crazies in my group want to bike up), and someplace called the "Strip District" that apparently has a lot of cheese shops, it is also the scene of our first DAY OFF! My arrival in Pittsburgh (During rush hour and covered with grease from changing a flat along US30. Unpleasant.) may have been anticlimactic, but the possibilities here are endless! I could have, for example, stayed up late last night (this proved physically impossible for my body) or slept in early this morning (ditto). I will not, however, be thwarted in my plan to eat as much as I can, see a movie, and NOT ride my bike. Tomorrow we will be riding out of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania entirely, so this is my last post from the Keystone State. So goodbye PA. I liked your Amish country, but next time, let's lay off on my legs a little bit with the hills.
