Virginia Stickseed (Hackelia virginiana), has minute spikes on its seed coat that adhere like velcro to most any fabric (or fur) at the slightest touch. Can cause itching.

Black raspberry (Rubus Occidentalis) bushes have thorns and bluish-white stems which are red if scratched. Not Poison Ivy, although leaf shapes are somewhat similar. It should be noted that City of Pgh uses TorDon for seasonal herbicide = not food-safe.
Last bit of shade before the meadow.

Last bit of shade before the meadow.
Eventually the singletrack exits the tree tunnel and proceeds towards a reclaiming meadow. Hillside is not as steep and the sight lines tend to be best from fall-spring.
Looking back into the tree tunnel, standing in the meadow on a small jump.
Thorny rose and berry bushes dominate the uphill side of the "meadow".
Mile-a-minute weed (Persicaria perfoliata) is a vigorous, barbed vine that smothers other herbaceous plants, shrubs and even trees by growing over them.
Looking towards the tree tunnel a bit further into the meadow. The trail zig zags along a contour line flanked with established trees mostly 10-12 inches in diameter.
