For 2023, we'll be dusting off one of our oldest routes...the AMCUP (Allegheny Mountains Cruel and Unusual Punishment) 400.
For 2023, we've added a brand spanking new 600K route. It's a traditional pair of 400k and 200K loops with a hotel control (the Hampton Inn in Homestead) in the middle. As this is emphatically not a daylight-only ride, lights and reflective gear are mandatory. In addition, a significant portion of the route is on...Read more
Heck Weekend Day 2: the hard day's journey into night.
Heck Weekend, day three. Enjoy the limestone.
To shake off the wintry cobwebs, and in honor of the 5th year of the International Women's Day Together We Ride , we'll enjoy a tour of the trail system near Pittsburgh. Only one climb of note, and a simple, pleasant way to explore the city environs without needing to duel with traffic. There's some...Read more

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

(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...Read more
