Watch out for errant golf balls.

Squirrel Hill

Forbes and Murray Avenues compose a major business district

Squirrel Hill

There are a number of stop signs on Beechwood Boulevard in this stretch that make it hard to build up all the speed you'd want.

Frick Park

Ride past the old Frick Park Environmental Center on your right, destroyed in a 2002 fire.

Frick Park

Stay on the main trail here; don't make any turns until you look down to the right and see Forbes Avenue.

Frick Park

When the trail splits here, take the right branch down towards Forbes Avenue.

Regent Square

Ride along the sidewalk or carefully enter Forbes Avenue, and prepare for a left turn.

Frick Park

Get in low gear while on Rosemary Road, since Undercliff Road here is very steep uphill.

Frick Park

This is the home of the Frick Park Lawn Bowling Club, one of the few lawn bowling groups in the country.

Point Breeze

I always like to ride around the traffic circle here at least one full time (i.e., usually one and a half loops to just go straight).

Point Breeze

As on Beechwood Boulevard, stop signs make it hard to get up a full head of steam on this stretch here.
