We got up extra early this morning of Day 3 of our Pittsburgh to DC Bike Ride so that we could get an early start on the trail. We wanted to spend as much time as we could in Ohiopyle.
(Click to catch up on Day 1 and Day 2)
After a delicious breakfast we were on our way at 8:30 am. We planned to ride the 17 miles to Ohiopyle, have lunch, and then spend the afternoon there watching the white water rafters and taking a dip in the river to cool off.
We took our time riding these 17 miles and stopped several times to admire the beautiful scenery. 
Once again we were blessed to have picture perfect weather.
After experience numerous muscle cramping in my legs yesterday, I made sure to drink lots of water and stretched my leg muscles at every bench stop.
These photos were taken on and from the pedestrian bridges crossing over the white water below.
We stopped to watch the rafters paddle through the rapids below.
Then it was time to find that swimming hole!
After spending most of the afternoon in Ohiopyle, it was time to dry off and pack up for the night’s destination of Confluence.
At the advice of other riders, we made dinner reservations at The Rivers Edge Cafe in Confluence. As soon as we checked in at the Smith House Inn, we quickly showered and got ready for dinner. The photo above shows the view of the river from our table.
The gardens around the Rivers Edge were so pretty.
The cafe was just a quick 5-minute walk from the B&B. Confluence is the cutest little town. I want to come back and spend a couple of days here.
After dinner, we walked back to our B&B and relaxed in the double hammock on the front porch. Ahhh. I could sleep here!
Tomorrow we head to Meyersdale for Day 4 of our bicycle trip from Pittsburgh to DC. Happy trails!
Update: I have attached a video that I took with my GoPro camera. I don’t expect anyone to watch the entire clip – it gets a little boring ; )
I think it’s so awesome that you all stayed in nice places along the way to get some good rest and food.
It must have been tough to plan all this. kudos!
Great pics Jeanie!

What a beautiful and well-planned biking journey, especially with the scenic stops and relaxing time in Ohiopyle—it really shows how taking breaks and staying prepared can make the whole experience more enjoyable. Managing hydration and stretching was a smart move for such a long ride. In a similar way, having a structured system helps in everyday tasks too, like using MI Portal Fone with CURP, which allows teachers to securely verify their identity and easily access their payroll details without confusion. With everything organized in one place, it becomes much easier to stay on track and stress-free.
What an amazing journey! I really enjoyed reading about the beautiful trails, peaceful river views, and your stop in Ohiopyle—it makes me want to plan a cycling trip too. The GoPro footage is a great way to preserve these memories, and travel creators could also share videos like this on tabootube, where original outdoor adventures and personal travel stories can reach viewers who appreciate authentic content. It’s also a nice opportunity for creators to grow an audience and potentially earn from the videos they love making.

Day 3 sounds like another great milestone on the journey! It’s always helpful to keep track of routes, stops, and local information while traveling. I recently found Henry Property Records useful for exploring public property information, and it reminded me how valuable reliable resources can be when planning ahead. Wishing you safe riding, good weather, and an enjoyable rest of the trip!
Great update! It’s always helpful to share route experiences like this for anyone planning a similar ride.
