SUMMARY:Cristian's LEL Prep 400K
DESCRIPTION:Upon request\, we’re re-offering our out-and-back 400K to Erie. \nIt’s being offered primarily to help local rider Cristian prepare for the next London-Edinburgh-London\, but there’s no reason other interested riders shouldn’t join the party if they see fit. \nIMPORTANT: This is a self-supported and self-managed event\, offered in conjunction with the 300K the previous day; no controles will be staffed by volunteers. Electronic proof of passage is expected\, although I recommend photos of controles and/or receipts as a backup in case your GPS track becomes corrupted. \nI strongly recommend getting a room at the hotel to rest after the ride…however\, if you don’t wish to stay at the hotel\, there is a Park-n-Ride Lot roughly a mile away on-route at the intersection of Rt 19 and 228: you are welcome to use it as an alternative start and finish controle\, so long as you include the quick loop into the Comfort Inn at the end to cover the route. \nRegistration closes: Thursday August 29th 2024 \nRequirements: current RUSA membership\, signed waiver \nRide start: Saturday August 31st 5:00 AM (27:00 time limit) \nRoute: \n

SUMMARY:Cristian's LEL Prep 300K
DESCRIPTION:This 300K is a new twist on an old route: an abbreviated version of our traditional 400K to Erie and back. It follows the same track through Meadville\, then detours to a turn-around in Venango and follows the familiar route back through Mercer\, New Castle\, and Ellwood City. \nIt’s being offered primarily to help local rider Cristian prepare for the next London-Edinburgh-London\, but there’s no reason other interested riders shouldn’t join the party if they see fit. \nIMPORTANT: This is a self-supported and self-managed event\, offered in conjunction with the 400K the next day; no controles will be staffed by volunteers. Electronic proof of passage is expected\, although I recommend photos of controles and/or receipts as a backup in case your GPS track becomes corrupted. \nI strongly recommend getting a room at the hotel at the start…however\, if you don’t wish to stay at the hotel\, there is a Park-n-Ride Lot roughly a mile away on-route at the intersection of Rt 19 and 228: you are welcome to use it as an alternative start and finish controle\, so long as you include the quick loop into the Comfort Inn at the end to cover the route. \nRegistration closes: Wednesday August 28th 2024 \nRequirements: current RUSA membership\, signed waiver \nRide start: Friday August 30th 5:00 AM (21:00 time limit) \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
