Yeah, right. I'm still outside Pittsburgh in a motel in Crafton on Route 60 north. I spent several hours after I left the Hampton Inn on Route 51 trying to find a suitable route out of this hell-hole. Everything is narrow and congested. Around 11am it started raining and I was walking the bike up hills trying to find a route. Got on Route 60 north and around 1:30pm found a little motel. I was drenched so I called it quits for the day.
Very pissed off today. I really don't like this area at all. If it continues raining heavy tomorrow then I'll keep the room another night. While in the motel room I saw that my front left pannier rack is damaged. The bolt holding the triangle assembly had snapped off and now the rack tilts forward. Blackburn makes shit!
