Monaca Chippewa Midland Shippingport Aliquippa Bike Route

Overview.
This is a 46-mile circuit, fairly hilly (total climb 4,660 feet). The route starts at the Center Municipal Building, through Monaca-Rochester-Bridgewater, uses Darlington Road to paralled Route 51 to Chippewa. Then Route 251 west through Blackhawk, Route 168 South to Midland, cross the Ohio to Shippingport, Green Garden Road to Aliquippa, and Chapel Road back to Center.

Rest stops are at a Chippewa convenience store where 251 takes a left turn, and at a Midland BP station. Otherwise the route is pretty bare.
