Promoting long distance unsupported cycling in the Pittsburgh region

Pittsburgh 100K
May 4
Free(Contrary to usual 100K practice, we’re starting this one at 7 AM, to avoid the worst of the traffic on Allegheny River Blvd and Freeport Rd.)
Starting at the Bud Harris Cycling Oval, this suburban populaire follows the Allegheny River upstream to Oakmont (site of the notable Oakmont Bakery), then north through Rural Ridge and Russellton on the way to the infamous Sun Mine Rd climb and the first controle in Saxonburg.
From Saxonburg, we’ll head west to a photo controle at the intersection of Brownsdale Rd and Valencia Rd, just across the street from “a thing that isn’t there anymore”, the much-missed Brownsdale Market.
Finally, we’ll head south through Mars (PA, that is), with a stop at the 7-11, before returning via North Park and Shaler.
Registration closes: Thursday May 2nd
Inspection opens: Saturday May 4th 6:30 AM
Requirements: current RUSA membership, signed waiver
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.
Ride start: Saturday May 4th 7:00 AM (6:45 time limit)
