Promoting long distance unsupported cycling in the Pittsburgh region
Another new 100K for 2024. This one lets us explore in the south a bit…starting with familiar roads through New Eagle and Monongahela (with a sad tip-o’-the-helmet to the temporarily closed Sheetz), then up the Mon River through Charleroi and Belle Vernon to the tiny town of Roscoe and the first significant climb of the day. After the summit, we’ll drop to Coal Center (beware of distracting river valley views to your left as you plummet!) and head west away from the river to mostly quiet country roads for the next 25 miles, before heading north to Eighty Four and a familiar return to the park via Sugar Run Rd.

EPoP: Due to abject laziness on the part of your humble RBA, we default to electronic proof of passage (e.g Strava or other GPS track) in the Pittsburgh region brevets. That said, if you prefer olde-schoole printed paperwork such as cue sheets or brevet cards, I’m happy to provide them…just let me know at least three days in advance of the event, so that I have time to prepare and print.
