We spent an hour and a half trying to make the course work. We took multiple test rides and determined we need to postpone the race. The snow is way too thick. We’re thinking late March or even sometime in April would be safer. Stay tuned for updates. Sorry it didn’t workout!

That just gives you more time to get your bikes polished.

Good training for summer rides, especially if you plan on riding Oscar Swan’s Time Trials or Track Nights.

Here’s the Google Calendar event and the Bike Pittsburgh message thread.

It’s that PBS-pledge-drivey time of year: would you, or someone you know, like to

  • Make bikers happy?
  • Support Pittsburgh?
  • Be totally awesome?

All you have to do is sponsor some bike events! Just send me some stuff and it will get given. You can even ear-mark your prize for a particular race. For more information, email me at dave@pghalleycat.com.

Check out the list of 2008’s sponsors.

PS: and it might even be good for business. Local bike shop Thick Bikes started carrying Crumpler bags and Yanco framepads after seeing them in last year’s races. Go viral marketing!

PPS: that spokecard doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but I was looking at it the other day and thinking “that’s the most awesome spokecard I’ve ever made”.
