Fall Rally 2010 Bicycle Tour
Sunday, September 12, 2010
An activity of the Western Pennsylvania Wheelmen
Start: The Fall Rally will start in North Park (Gibsonia, PA 15044 for navigation) at the Olympia Grove, at the intersection of Pierce Mill and North Ridge drive. Registration opens at 6:30 at the site. Maps and que sheets will be available. Please feel free to start as soon as you register. The following starting times are recommended so you will not be too early (or late!) for any of the rest stops. 100 miles 7:00 am 65 miles 8:00 am 35 miles 9:00 am Family Fun 10K 11:30 am
Route: The Century riders will start off on the 35 mile course, which loops to the north and passes back through the start area for the first rest stop. The 65 mile, Metric century loop is to the north and west of the park. This loop has two rest stops. The first at Riverside high school and a second at Brush Creek park. The courses are similar to last year's, with a few changes to avoid roads and bridges that are under construction. While we recommend taking a cue sheet, all routes will be marked with arrows on the pavement at frequent intervals.
Food: There are two rest stops on the 65 mile loop, and we will provide a post ride lunch at Miller Grove in North Park. There will be water and snacks available at the ride start. Support A sag will be available to pick up those who can't finish due to bike problems or fatigue. (You and your bike are expected to be in good shape before the ride starts. And please ... carry a spare tube.) The cue sheet will have a sag phone number.
Cost: $20 for non-WPW members, Free for members. The Family fun 10K is $20 per family.

Helmets: "The WPW requires that all riders must wear a helmet on our sponsored rides. Helmets should bear at least a CPSC or ASTM certification, but the more protective Snell B95 or N94 ratings are preferred by careful cyclists."
FREE PARKING is available in the lot at Olympia Grove. Please do not park in the grass .
