Organized Bike Rides- Riders must be WYTC members

Bill Hurrianko's Message

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. 


All riders must be WYTC members. The WYTC is an all-volunteer group that maintains 10.5 miles of the trail with funds raised from grants, events, contributions, and memberships.  

Thursday Rides

 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.
