A 100 kilometer, self-supported randonneur-style ride, heading north and west of city, beginning and ending in Morningside. This year's edition will be more brevet-like, with several information controles along the way (see FAQ below), and a hard finish time.
Here's a map of the course. Cue sheet can be found here. You will be responsible for printing your own cue sheet. The course has been recc'ed and can be considered final, pending last minute construction changes, which seem unlikely.
The route begins and ends in the playground of the Morningside school, on Jancey Street. The route, for the most part, follows relatively quiet suburban and rural roads. There are some rough and/or higher traffic sections, however, and these will be noted on the cue sheets. Please be aware of these stretches and ride accordingly.
Registration begins at 08:30, and the ride begins at 09:30. Please be considerate of my neighbors. If you are driving to the start, you may park on Jancey, Greenwood, or Chislett.
You will be given a brevet card at the start which indicates two "information controles" along the way--obvious questions regarding landmarks along the route to prove you actually did the ride. For your time to be included in the results, you must complete the card during the course of the event. And while this ride is not a race, you must complete the course by 16:10 (4:10 PM) to be counted as a finisher. Additionally, the final controle (finish) does not open until 12:26 PM.
This ride is being run through the Western PA Wheelmen, meaning you will need to fill out a waiver to participate in the ride, as well as a waiver provided by Bike Pittsburgh, since this event is a part of their BikeFest.
You are responsible for you. Carry a cell phone and a toolkit (with a spare tube/patch kit and pump at a minimum). The control card will include my phone number. If you are leaving the ride for any reason, please call me so I don't wait for you to return. It's a looooong walk back to the city. This isn't a race, so obey the traffic laws. It's up to you to follow the course. Unlike other BikeFest rides, you are on your own. You are not discouraged from riding in a group, but there is no ride leader, and no sweeper. Be safe, have fun.
