Bike Pittsburgh Membership meeting.

I think BikePgh is great and all, but why ever would they mention - several places - "driving directions" to the membership meeting and NOT have directions for people that want to come by decent transportation?


WTF?


Also, is anyone else going to this and then going to the Free Ride Open stage?

Check your email - if it's not there, check in your old email! :)

(My invite was sent to my old email address by mistake)

I wondered about that also- It would have been anice touch to edit it to say driving/ biking directions. I will be biking.

Hopefully interested members will turn out for this even if they can't bike there (e.g. they are currently injured or have a work day that ends way out in the burbs).

Hubby and I will be driving in for this. I couldn't bike in from New Stanton, and he can't bike with his back injury.


Woot!

Sucks I won't be able to go. I work till 5:30/6pm at seven springs. No way I'll make it back in time without driving like a total maniac.

hmmm, I've never thought of the north side of any building as the sunny side... but I guess it works...

Then there's that other ride starting at Butler & 46th in L'ville that, oh golly gosh darn, I just have to ride right past on my way back north.


stuinmccandless

Oh yes well hmm I didn't think that the meeting would be over by then.


stefb
2012-06-28 10:06:06

Meetup at 8:30, roll at 9. Shouldn't take that long to ride from ELib to L'ville.

I will be riding from the North Shore- I am sure there are opinions as to the best route- I am thinking either throught the strip then up to Penn, or cross town to the jail trail them up through Squirrel Hill to Highland. Distances are only about a mile different.


helen-s
2012-06-28 13:01:55

there are def people planning on riding from the meeting to the ride.


erok

Helen, I'd take the millvale trail to 40 st bridge, then head over to the... poop. Cemetery is closed. Meh, I'd still take the trail, but I really like that trail.

40th street bridge to Lville wiggle, to Penn Ave at top of hill, then left to meeting.


Wiggle is lightly defined here as *a block up, a block over* from 40th and Butler, then repeat from *.

Looks like I won't make this meeting.


Hope it goes well and is full of really encouraging news.....!

@helen, this google suggestion is not too bad, from Spring Way in the Strip: http://goo.gl/maps/gkSO


[edit] Though, I'd cut over to Liberty sooner.
