Rough Diamond Century and Club Picnic – August 10
We are going to mash together the club picnic and the Rough Diamond Century. Details out next month. Back of envelope plan:
- What combines the two events in lunch at the outdoor seating area at the Point Street Tavern in Saltsburg.
- The club picnic will start and end in Saltsburg. Routes will be a combination of the trails within riding distance – West Penn Trail, Westmoreland Heritage Trail, and via the Apollo’s Kiski Riverfront trail and roads through Apollo, the new Armstrong Trails section of the Allegheny River Trail north from Schenley (i.e. across the river from Freeport).
- For the nominal Rough Diamond Century this year, we are likely setting aside the full Rough Diamond Century route as we wait for the connectors to finish on both the Mon and Allegheny sides of the leg through Apollo, Saltsburg, and Monroeville. Instead we will leverage the new section of the Armstrong County Trail to go north along the Allegheny River.
- Where the Rough Diamond Century starts is TBD.
