When it does, that is a fine opportunity to ride the bike--especially if it involves a ridge climb out of the Ohio River Valley!
Here is my Rando Bike all fendered up for the inclement conditions. Sorry for shooting into the sun, but I wanted to get the Ohio river into the shot.
I was going to do a tag-o-rama for this spot, but the pic is generic enough that no one outside the Sewickley Riders would nail it. So here it is at the green arrow:

The street is Sycamore Road Extension, which is a micro Alpe d'Huez featuring a few nice switchbacks, right off of Rt. 65 (and right next to that brute, Redgate Road). It comes up as a Cat 4 on Strava, and, so far only two riders have tackled it as of this writing. Try it next time you pass by the area; it's especially fun on a snowy day.
