SUMMARY:Inaugural offering\, Hickory Hills 100K
DESCRIPTION:Okay\, first off\, let me be clear…it’s actually 108K\, if that deters anyone 🙂 \nThis 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). \nStarting at the Park-n-Ride lot in downtown Carnegie\, PA\, we take advantage of the early hour to avoid the worst of the crazed shopper traffic on Rt 50 in Heidelberg\, before taking classic cycling roads Thoms Run/Presto-Sygan/Millers Run to rejoin 50 in Cecil Township. After crossing under the Montour Trail in Venice\, we’ll gradually climb to Hickory before enjoying a long fast descent to our first controle at the Avella Uni-Mart. \nWe’ll then do our best to avoid roads with any paint on them for the next twenty miles or so miles\, until we join Steubenville Pike and head east to our next controle at the Florence Grab-n-Go. \nAfter a very brief stint on trafficky Rt 18\, we’ll try to avoid consistent pavement entirely as we pass through Hillman State Park\, with a pause at the Lyle Covered Bridge for a photo controle. \nContinuing eastward\, we’ll pass through more country roads (as well as an enormous Amazon distribution facility) through Imperial PA to a short stint on the Montour Trail and another photo controle\, this time at the Enlow Tunnel. \nFinally\, we’ll climb back up the ridge\, then make our way to Carnegie via the reverse of our classic Ewing Rd/Ridge Rd/Bayer Rd route. \nRegistration closes: Thursday May 30th\nInspection opens: Saturday June 1st 6:30 AM\nRide start: Saturday June 1st 7:00 AM (06:45 time limit) \nRequirements: current RUSA membership\, signed waiver \nEPoP: 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. \nRoute: \n

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh - Erie - Pittsburgh 400K
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a few years\, so let’s dust off one of our kinder\, gentler 400K routes. \nStarting 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 City and the first controle. After narrowly avoiding financial disaster in the nearby outlet stores\, we’ll continue through Sandy Lake and Meadville on the way to the turnaround in Erie. \nFor variety’s sake\, we’ll take an alternate route south through Edinboro back to the Sheetz in Meadville\, before the return via Mercer\, New Castle\, and Ellwood City. \nIntermediate controles are at Sheetz (Grove City\, mile 41)\, Sheetz (Meadville\, mile 82)\, Sheetz (Erie\, mile 121)\, Sheetz (Meadvillle again\, mile 164)\, Sheetz (Mercer\, mile 196)\, and Sheetz (Ellwood City\, mile 227). \nYes\, that’s a full Shweep: 6 intermediate controles at 5 distinct Sheetzen\, for those keeping score. (And no\, your RBA does not get a kickback from Sheetz\, why do you ask?) \nRoute notes: \n\nLittle is open for refueling on-route until Slippery Rock at mile 32. (There is a Kwik Fill 3/4 mile off-route east on 422 around mile 20)\nThe vast majority of the route is well-maintained pavement. There was some milled road surface just outside Grove City around mile 41\, and a short dirt stretch on the return leg around mile 155.\nThere are quite a few RR track crossings throughout the route. Please be cautious\, especially at night and if tired.\nOn the very last leg to the hotel\, you’ll be on Rt 19 in Cranberry for half a mile. Be very careful\, as traffic merging from your right from the PA turnpike in that section can be fast moving and oblivious.\nI’ve reserved a room at the Comfort Inn for Saturday night\, so those who wish to nap or shower may do so.\n\nRegistration closes: Thursday June 13th\nInspection opens: Saturday June 15th 4:30 AM\nRide start: Sunday June 15th 5:00 AM (27:00 time limit) \nRequirements: current RUSA membership\, signed waiver \nEPoP: 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. \nRoute: \n

SUMMARY:McConnells Mills 200K
DESCRIPTION:(Since your RBA didn’t have a chance to ride it last time\, we’re going to offer the McConnell’s Mills 200K again.) \nThe 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.\nSo\, 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).\nOnce 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 no 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. \nRoute notes: \n\nWhen crossing Bull Creek onto Thompson\, you may see Road Closed signs ahead. The turn for Sun Mine Rd is before the closure\, so don’t worry about them.\nWhile 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)\n\nRegistration closes: Friday June 28th\nInspection opens: Sunday June 30th 6:30 AM\nRide start: Sunday June 30th 7:00 AM (13:30 time limit) \nRequirements: current RUSA membership\, signed waiver \nEPoP: 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. \nRoute: \n
