BBB: Pittsburgh

Day 281, Pittsburgh

Left DC after sleeping VERY well.  Almost immediately after suggesting we explore the route a bit, Pat found a sign for at Antietam.  We took the 10 mile detour in to the battlefield and from there explored via bike.  The landscape was very beautiful and historic, but Pat had a hard time keeping up on his single speed.

Pat snapped me enjoying the view as he trudged up one of the many hills.

Once in Pittsburgh we left the bikes at the hotel as the forecast called for rain.  The forecast was right.  After the first rain delay, the stands were all but empty except for Pittsburgh's most dedicated.  This fan base was very knowledgeable and not at all cordial to a couple of Reds fans.  One woman suggested I "get rid of that shirt if I want to get laid tonight."  I told her that "I almost exclusively make love with my shirt off."  The gentlemen in her group made sure that was the end of the conversation.

Reds fan enjoys the lonely view of the Steel City.
