Shredding the Steel City 🇺🇸 50 STATE SHRED: PENNSYLVANIA

Aaron from Trail Pittsburgh was one of the first people to reach out from Pennsylvania when I announced my 50 State Shred. I always love seeing what MTB clubs are doing to take action and improve their home parks.
These folks have put a ton of time and effort into Frick Park and it was FUN little spot. Unfortunately Aaron wasn't able to ride with us as he busted his ribs about a week before I arrived, but Justin and Carl gave me a great tour of their home turf.

@@concrerto hard to say. It's all really good. I haven't been there in a few years, so I don't have the best beta. Some of my favorite trails are 1500 Block, Vista & Moss. Those are all in Norchaux. Then there's Scientology that's more in the middle. Really just pick out a popular route off Strava and it will be great.
