Laurel Highlands Chapter's Motorcycle Tour

The Laurel Highlands Chapter of the PSLS hosted a Covered Bridge Motorcycle Tour on May 30, 2026, with donations supporting the PSLS PAC Fund. Riders from three PSLS Chapters enjoyed an 83-mile journey through the mountains of western Pennsylvania, stopping at the historic Barronvale (1880), Kings (1802), and Lower Humbert (1891) covered bridges. The itinerary also featured a stop at Ohiopyle's Spirit of the River Wine and Arts Festival and wrapped up with a late lunch at Bud Murphy's Restaurant in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. Thanks to a fantastic turnout, clear skies, and comfortable 70-degree weather, the scenic ride through western Pennsylvania was enjoyed by all.
