01/01/2014, New Year's Day - the Icycle Bicycle Ride around Pittsburgh sponsored by the Western PA Wheelmen. It was a "balmy" 28 degrees with an overcast sky, but the roads were dry. About 13 miles around the city, starting at REI at the Southside Works down Carson to the West End Bridge, across the Northshore to the 31st Street bridge, then down Penn Avenue to Grant Street, and out the Jail Trail back to REI. It's a great ride and a nice group of people - I rode next to a 24 year old fellow (hey, Rob!) on a fixie - he kicked my butt on the approaches to each bridge that we crossed!
