Today’s ride takes us further up the Casselman River through some beautiful gorges to the towns of Garrett and Meyersdale, PA. At Meyersdale we leave the Casselman River and follow Flaugherty Creek on our final ascent to the Eastern Continental Divide. We also pass over some huge trestle bridges, and through the Big Savage Tunnel today – which is almost 3300′ long!
