400 km - Pittsburgh - Erie - Pittsburgh
Saturday May 12, 2012

Rides Description
The first time as a teenager that I road from Mars to North Park, I remember us pretending as we stood in the ice cream line that we pretended that we had just ridden from Erie to buy ice cream in North Park. Riding Pittsburgh-Erie-Pittsburgh thus ties to my earliest dreams or goals of cycling. The course of course is seldom flat, but few hills are steeper than 10% grade, and we just verified on the back-to-back 200 km brevets in October that this course is just a great ride.

Start/End Location
Hotel information not yet finalized for 2012!
Comfort Inn in Cranberry Twp (Mars) , PA. If you don't stay at a motel, there is a Park'n'Ride within several miles- Warrendale Bayne Rd at Brush Creek Rd, Wexford, PA.

I'll have a control room at the Comfort Inn for Friday and Saturday nights.
