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,...Read more

Pittsburgh 100K

Bud Harris Cycling Oval 1401 Washington Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA, United States

(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.)

McConnell’s Mills 200K

North Park Boathouse 10301 Pearce Mill Rd, Allison Park, PA, 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...Read more

Castleman’s Run 300K

Noble J. Dick Aquatorium, Monongahela 200 Railroad St, Monongahela, PA, United States

Originally, this was to be a revival of an old route into Ohio...the Minerva Cheese Ride, named for reasons that have faded into the mists of time. Sadly, after scouting, I decided that the route is not worth exhuming. So, we're offering last year's Castleman 300 as a far-less-hazardous substitute. Registration closes: Thursday May 16th...Read more

Inaugural offering, Hickory Hills 100K

Carnegie Park-n-Ride Lot 338 Logan St, Carnegie, PA, United States

Okay, first off, let me be clear...it's actually 108K, if that deters anyone :-) This one has a mix of traditional and new segments, with the majority of roads smoothly paved (but a few miles of unpaved dirt and occasional gravel to keep it interesting). Starting at the Park-n-Ride lot in downtown Carnegie, PA, we...Read more

Pittsburgh – Erie – Pittsburgh 400K

Comfort Inn Cranberry 924 Sheraton Dr, Mars, PA, United States

It's been a few years, so let's dust off one of our kinder, gentler 400K routes. Starting at the Comfort Inn in Cranberry, we head north through Evans City (passing the world-famous Evans City Cemetery used in the filming of the original Night of the Living Dead) and Slippery Rock on the way to Grove...Read more

McConnells Mills 200K

North Park Boathouse 10301 Pearce Mill Rd, Allison Park, PA, United States

(Since your RBA didn't have a chance to ride it last time, we're going to offer the McConnell's Mills 200K again.) 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...Read more

Inaugural offering, Mingo Creek Meander 100K

Mingo Creek County Park Parking Lot 6X2M+P23, Ginger Hill, PA, United States

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...Read more
