Pittsburgh 100K

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

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

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.

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.)

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
