I am planning to ride from Pittsburgh to Ohiopyle, should I start The Point in Pittsburgh or Homestead Pump House? What is the official start (or end)? Any suggestions on a good place to spend the first night? West Newton or Perryopolis? What about a ride for two people from Ohiopyle to Pittsburgh? Are there any economical providers? Thanks in advance, Scott

I couldn't get a reservation at Bright Morning B&B in West Newton otherwise I would have stayed there. It's less mileage. We ended up staying at Lenora's in Perryopolis. It was one of the best B&B's on the entire trail and I
would highly recommend it. Follow directions closely as it's easy to miss from the trail. Allow plenty of time. it was about 52 miles from Pittsburgh and has a climb up into town. Lenora will great you with iced lemon water and baked cookies. Also the Pizza place in town is pretty good to. By the time I got to D.C. I was sick of Pizza and bad Hoagies.
