Our planned route was along the Ohio river, and we thought that it was going to be a lovely road. However, the road got increasingly busy and by the time we were 30 miles from Pittsburgh it turned into a limited access, divided, 4-lane highway, making for unpleasant and somewhat perilous cycling. So we pulled off at a gas station on route, where Peter pulled out his computer and rerouted us on nicer back roads. The new route was quickly transferred to our GPS units, and we were off and riding again along a pleasant route. Despite the delay, we made it to Pittsburgh for lunch.

Ever flexible, Peter devised a new route into Pittsburgh on his computer. We then transferred the route to our handlebar GPS units and continued on our ride.
