SUMMARY:Team Decaf Tuesday Ride

Jason leads. \nLegalities and Logistics: \nPlease be sure to sign in at https://forms.gle/TVfJUMVoaXLNswHGA at any time up to the start of the ride. Try to sign up as soon as you know you will be attending to avoid delays at the start. NOTE: YOU MUST SIGN IN FOR EACH WEEK’S RIDE. \nHERE ARE THE RIDE DETAILS: \nTeam Decaf rides every Tuesday from April until the first Tuesday in October.

SUMMARY:Team Decaf Tuesday Ride
DESCRIPTION:Hello Riders..and welcome to Team Decaf’s 2023 biking season. Our GRAND DEPART will be tomorrow\, Tuesday\, April 4. \n\n\n\nFor Tuesday's ride\, let's go with a route that typically starts the season\,  \nGo Directly to Jail - 16.7 miles - 552 feet. See below for more details.\nFor those of you who use RidewithGPS\, you will find this route by searching for it by name or at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42408820\nThe Cue sheet is at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42408820/cue_sheet.\n\nLooks like perfect early-season weather. Front and rear lights are recommended.\nSunset will be 7:47PM. Bill leads. \n\n\n\nATTENTION: Our early season rides always present a challenge\, given the post-winter road conditions including pot holes\, build-up of road debris\, etc. And this GRAND DEPART may present even more challenges. Traffic calming measures such as curb extensions\, narrowed roads\, speed humps\, and traffic circles have been installed to encourage safer\, more responsible driving. These efforts intend to make biking safer\, but do require more diligence on the part of riders\, especially in group rides. Familiarize yourself with these safety measures at https://bikepgh.org/2020/12/03/12-pieces-of-bike-infrastructure-you-can-use-around-pittsburgh/. And I’m sure you’ve also encountered the mass of utility work that frequently blocks streets\, especially in the East End. And even when the repairs are finished\, sometimes street surfaces are left in ‘less than perfect’ condition…like the two patches of Penn Avenue near Aldi in Garfield. Bottom line: Be more vigilant as you ride this season. Let’s have a safe\, accident-free 2023. \n\n\n\nPlease be sure to sign in at https://forms.gle/TVfJUMVoaXLNswHGA at any time upto the start of the ride. Try to sign up as soon as you know you will be attending toavoid delays at the start. NOTE: YOU MUST SIGN IN FOR EACH WEEK’S RIDE. \n\n\n\nHERE ARE THE RIDE DETAILS: \n\n\n\nTeam Decaf rides every Tuesday from April until the first Tuesday in October. The ride starts and finishes at Tazza D’oro Cafe\, 1125 N. Highland\, Highland Park\, 15206. We leave at 6:15pm sharp. Plan to arrive around 6:00pm for sign-in and pre-ride details. \n\n\n\nRide speed is medium-to-fast paced. We usually break in to several groups\, based on riders’ skill/speed levels. Ride distance is typically 15 to 30 miles based on the amount of available daylight. Less experienced and slower riders are encouraged to join the group and will be accommodated. Ride leaders for the faster group and new routes are always welcome.  \n\n\n\nIf it’s wet or raining\, the ride is cancelled.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Randonneurs – Winter Warmup\, Pittsburgh Trails 100K ACP Populaire
DESCRIPTION:This is a Populaire sanctioned by RUSA.  As such (a) You must join RUSA to ride it\, and (b) it is not a Western PA Bicycle Club ride per se.  Please register for this ride on the Pittsburgh Randonneurs website https://pittsburghrandonneurs.com/event/2023-100k-acp-populaire-03-11/ \nPresident Jim recently scouted the route\, since he originally designed the route.  He says: \nI rode the “Near Pittsburgh Mostly Paved Trail” 100 km Permanent on Sunday 2/26\, on which the upcoming Winter Warmup\, Pittsburgh Trails 100K ACP Populaire is based. The Populaire version of the route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41806952.  Info on the upcoming Populaire is here:  https://pittsburghrandonneurs.com/event/2023-100k-acp-populaire-03-11/ \nWhat’s Fun About this Route:\nThis route uses most of the riverfront trails close to Pittsburgh.  It visits Allegheny Observatory on the Northside in Riverview Park\, and you get the view from the only substantial climb of the day.  You visit the tip of the Point twice\, including the marker for the start of the GAP trail and the people watching opportunities.  Where it’s possible\, it uses trails on different sides of the river – this includes near Boston and near downtown and the Southside.  I find the Color Park fun\, and many views from bridges if we have any visitors.  If you (i.e. me) are not riding for time\, The Sly Fox Brewery is several miles before the end.\nI designed this Permanent as a base miles training route that has virtually no dependencies on traffic conditions and can be safely ridden any time without worrying about traffic conditions. \nDetours I hit:\n–	The Mon Wharf start of the GAP is closed for now.  I used the marked trails exiting Point State Park next to the Wyndham to get to the jail trail.\n–	The Southside trail is closed on the Southside approaching Station Square in the section after the Color Park and Sly Fox Brewery.  The detour in words is “head for the sidewalk on South Carson”.\nTrail conditions generally:\n–	The mostly paved trails still have their many bumps due to tree roots and such\, which are sometimes painted.\n–	Relatively loose gravel in two places – (1) on the trail passing the apartments at the Waterfront\, (2) on the start of the bypass loop approaching Boston.\n–	The bypass loop approaching Boston has quite variable surfaces.  A sort of smorgasbord of surfaces.  None of them are very long. Few of them are smooth.\n–	The water taps are still closed for the season near Kennywood and at the Boston trailhead.  This time of year\, I didn’t really need them.\n–	The pit toilets at the Boston trailhead are open.\n–	The tea shop (Boston control) was open.  They have a cooler with pop and Gateraid.\n–	I rode on a windy day\, and I appreciated we live in PA and not Kansas.  Our rivers swoop in curves\, so even on a windy day the sections in the wind get broken up.\nBike selection (like a Zwift course review):\n–	While this course is mostly paved\, it isn’t always smooth.  If you have a gravel bike\, you might appreciate the plushness of the ride of gravel friendly tires.  On the other hand\,  I rode my Trek with 700×28 tires\, since I value my big boy gears and my aerobars more for the flats than I do plush tires for the rougher patches.  Anyone should be fine on their standard rando bikes.
