Spring Racing Series
We have several great spring races coming up, I encourage you to try them out. If you don’t think you are ready to race, or want to watch, consider volunteering for them.
March 23, 2008 Steel City Showdown
The criterium will be a one-of-a-kind race through the downtown area of Pittsburgh.
Riders will learn why Pittsburgh is often called “The City of Bridges,” as they will be racing
a closed 0.8 mile loop over two bridges. Located across the Allegheny River from
downtown, the start-finish will be located next to PNC ballpark. The finish line will have
a backdrop of the waterfront and downtown skyline
