Meanville Greenville 200K
2025-09-20 | Zelienople Park, Zelienople, PA, 124 N Main St, Zelienople, PA, 16063, United States
A big thank-you to Bill Huber for letting us know about a road closure that affects the route.
Per Bill:

On the Greenville 200k, at mile 99.5, the bridge over Slippery Rock Creek is out and totally closed for the rest of the summer.

I’ve been getting around it by leaving Slippery Rock south on Slippery Rock Road, following West Liberty road due west, then rejoining at mile 103.1.

Splendid Isolation 200K
2025-10-18 07:00 - 22:36 (America/New_York) | PA
UPDATE 10/15/2025: A bridge has gone astray, so the route has been revised. Please use this one: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52976246

Based on the original permanent, Splendid Isolation takes us through Pennsylvania’s Rothrock and Bald Eagle State Forests: combining remote, quiet gravel roads with beautiful scenery and a considerable amount of climbing. About 1/3 gravel. Minimum recommended tire is 38mm.
NOTE: No resupply is available for the first 65 miles, so stock up at the start.

200K RUSA Brevet 200K
2025-11-01 07:00 - 20:30 | North Park Boathouse, 10301 Pearce Mill Rd, Allison Park, PA, 15101, United States
The McConnell’s Mills 200K route has undergone a bit of revision since its inception: one of the controles (the Creighton Sheetz) no longer exists, and the final leg of the route passes through an area that has become quite trafficky and unpleasant later in the day.
So, we’ve moved the start to North Park, allowing us to get through the Glenshaw area early in the day (as well as to stop using RBA Emeritus Jim’s house as the start and finish controle).
Once escaping the city, we follow the Allegheny River upstream as far as Tarentum, before heading north through Butler on the way to West Sunbury. There, the traditional country market stop is now more, and has been sadly replaced with a photo control. Then we strike out westward through Liberty to Portersville and skirting McConnell’s Mill State Park. In Ellwood City, we make our first formal Sheetz stop of the day, before heading back to North Park via Brush Creek and Cranberry.
Route notes:

While there are plenty of supply options as far as Butler (around mile 50), there is little available on route until 45 miles later in Ellwood City. If you find yourself caught short, there are truck stops on 422 15 miles earlier, just off route(stay straight on Curry Rd at mile 80.5 instead of turning R on Fisher Rd)

Registration closes: Thursday October 30th

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.

Kittens and Puppies and Beaver 200K
2026-04-19 07:00 - 20:30 | Beaver River Trailhead, 2900 7th Ave Ext, Beaver Falls, PA, 15010, United States
Introduced just last year, this is an homage to our long-departed flat riverside K&P route on Rte 51.
Unlike the original route, this one starts in Beaver Falls and heads west into Ohio.
Although the first 4 miles are almost entirely uphill, it’s a gradual climb, with a strategically placed Sheetz just a couple miles from the start and shortly before the first turn.
Parking at the trailhead itself is *very* limited, but there is plenty of street parking nearby.

AMCUP 200K Brevet
2026-05-23 07:00 - 20:30 | Ohiopyle Visitors’ Center, 7 Sheridan St, Ohiopyle, PA, 15470, United States
Running in conjunction with the AMCUP 100K route, both events leave Ohiopyle at 7 AM and share the same initial route over Sugarloaf into Confluence.
After Confluence, we’ll climb Mt Davis (the highest point in PA, in theory) before dropping back down through Salisbury to Frostburg and the turnaround in Cumberland. From there, it’s overland through Meyersdale to Confluence and a return to Ohiopyle via Sugarloaf in the other direction.
Make no mistake: this is a hard 200K. Fun, though, and we’ll earn some spectacular views.
NOTE: The descent on Sugarloaf has some very poor stretches of road, starting around mile 6.2. Use extreme caution!

One of our oldest active routes, the Meanville Greenville 200K (A two-Sheetz ride, for those keeping score).
Starting in scenic downtown Zelienople, we’ll head north, skirting New Castle and pausing in New Wilmington on the way to our first Sheetz stop in Greenville. Then, we head southeast through Mercer to our second Sheetz in Slippery Rock, before heading south through Portersville to return to the start.
Note that there are several long stretches with no services, especially in the first half of the route.
