600 km - Pittsburgh 600 km A
Saturday May 26, 2012

Rides Description
In short, we ride our 400 km, stopping back at the start motel. Note that the first 400 km is tougher than a typical 400 km, given scouting reports from the riders who rode it.. Then we do a loop through Pittsburgh, leveraging the Allegheny and Ohio River valleys for maximum flatness for the last 200 km. Of course, we have to get to the Allegheny River valley and back to the end from the Ohio River valley. In the last 200 km, I added oodles more Sheetz, plus the original Primanti brothers - the original 24 hr restaurant in Pittsburgh.
