Icebreaker Open

We are planning on doing our Annual Ice-Breaker Open bike ride here in da Burgh, Saturday, January 4th, 2025.

Bring in the New Year with a Hills & Thrills (Pittsburgh Style), and ride around beautiful North Park.  Ride starts at 12:30pm (To let it warm up a bit).  PLUS it gives Merry-Land riders plenty of time to get there that morning.

* 15-, 25- and 30-mile ride options (Plus, it NEVER SNOWS on a Fil Heffler Event)

Then, we will pick a great restaurant for dinner that night.  
 
Out of towners, let me know, and I will assist on getting Overnight hotel reservations for you.

Interested?  Contact us in the usual way.

Fil....Start your cycling year off right!

Apples, Peaches 2024 Wrap-up

The pictures from the Apples, Peaches 2024 weekend are here.

Under beautiful sunshine and no clouds, the 2024 Apples, Peaches ride was perfect.  We had three routes, starting in Clear Spring MD, and numerous riders.  A fine Italian dinner was had in the evening that rewarded us for our efforts that day.

On Sunday, some of us drove to Breezewood, PA to ride through the abandoned Pennsylvania turnpike.  There was a half-marathon happening that day, unbeknownst to us, which made navigating a bit challenging.  While David R and Rex B did an out-and-back ride, Phil and Bill S came back over the mountain.  That return was a lot smoother, but quite difficult.

A good time was had by all.  Next up - The Ice Breaker Open on January 4, 2025 in Pittsburgh.  Details soon.
