Bill Hurrianko is the WYTC’s coordinator of organized rides having completed its 14th year of togetherness. If you are interested in having others to ride with, this is the way to be active, feel safe along the trail and make new friends.
If interested, you can email Bill at youghbikers@comcast.net. If you are not already a member of the WYTC, we ask that you join to be included on the email list. The WYTC is an all-volunteer group that maintains 10.5 miles of the trail with funds raised from grants, events, contributions, and memberships.

Rides are held on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at a pace of 10-12 mph for a round trip distance of 20-30 miles. The Thursday ride can be shorter and at a slower pace depending on the group. E-bikes that follow trail guidelines are welcome.
The Monday and Thursday rides begin at the West Newton Station at 9:00 a.m. while Tuesday rides begin at other locations such as Whitsett, Connellsville, Ohio Pyle, McKeesport, Ghost Town, or Confluence.

A ride is just not a ride but usually includes stops along the way. For example, when riding from Connellsville to Ohiopyle, we may stop at the Ohiopyle Bakery or Fall's Market and upon returning to Connellsville have a late lunch at the Italian Oven.
- A few years ago, twenty-five members of the group traveled to Ohio in September and spent several days riding trails and also visited the Air Force Museum.
