The "continental breakfast" was a big disappointment, and after a later start to let it warm a bit we left the hotel with no definitive plan for our ending point. Seventeen chilly miles later we stopped at a cafe to warm up and decide on our stopping place. We were having some difficulty finding lodging on or near the trail, so we decided to cut our day short and stay just before the start of the bike path. Had a late lunch or Linner (lunch-dinner), in Coraopolis. Knowing we had only 5 miles left till the hotel we headed out, unknown to us we were soon going up one of, if not the worst climbs of the trip. The last 5 miles were interesting... 2 miles of 7-14% grade climb, followed by steep rollers as we headed toward our next hotel. We called it the horrible gift that kept giving. We did actually break a sweat today, a nice change to be warm for a while.
