Running the Saunders-Monticello Trail in Charlottesville, Virginia John Kelm 2017-11-05 | We run the Saunders-Monticello Trail round trip starting at the stone-arched Saunders Bridge on a beautiful October 21, 2017. A two-mile trail, the Saunders-Monticello Trail, winds through the park before ascending the side of Carter Mountain toward Monticello. The trail then leads directly to the Monticello ticket office over the recently completed stone-arch Saunders Bridge. A pedestrian underpass marks the lower trail head. Elevated boardwalks, a pond, an overlook and an arboretum of native trees and shrubs mark this scenic trail to Monticello. With native hardwood forest, deep ravines and spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the trail winds its way toward Monticello and back in a very manageable four miles. A maximum grade of 5% keeps it completely accessible to walkers, cyclists and those in wheelchairs.The Saunders-Monticello Trail and Kemper Park are open all year, 7am to 7pm. Restroom and drink facilities are available at the David M. Rubenstein visitor center. It's a great run with a good grades, especially on a beautiful day like this.

Hand Cranking a 1911 Flanders Twenty at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix John Kelm 2016-12-02 | It was a rainy day in 2010 at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix at Pittsburgh's Schenley Park when we came upon a meticulously restored ninety-nine year old Flanders Model 20.

Cycling the Stavich Bike Trail New Castle, PA to Struthers, OH John Kelm 2016-07-01 | It was gorgeous June afternoon to ride the Stavich Bike Trail on June 29, 2016. Low humidity, excellent visibility, and temps in the low 70's made the ride be over much too soon. This is the fourth time I've ridden the trail and each time I like it more. The Pennsylvania segment is smooth and well maintained. The scenery is amazing especially when punctuated with an occasional CSX freight train running by. During this ride, one came up behind and to the left of me. You reach Lowellville, Ohio about seven miles into the ride west. It's a nice little town that, if you have time, to veer off the trail and ride around it. About two or so miles from the Struthers trail head, there is a sports facility where there are restrooms, the only available on the trail that I'm aware of. The Ohio segment of the trail, while still just as scenic is not as well maintained as the Pennsylvania portion. The trail has pavement buckles, tree roots, and some jarring cracks. You can mitigate the bumps some my slowing and looking for relatively smoother spots in the pavement. Or you can even leave the trail around Lowellville and ride on smooth pavement at the high school.The state of the Ohio pavement is just a heads up. Overall, the trail is a joy to ride fast or slow.
