Reverse Keg Ride

After breakfast at OTB Bicycle Cafe, we'll head off in a nice tight group. Of course, the big difference is that unlike the KEG RIDE in the Spring, everybody knows where we're going on the REVERSE KEG RIDE... to return the kegs to our NEW brewery location, which should be open by then, at 147 Julius St. (at Frankstown Ave.)

Like the Spring Keg Ride, this trip will be slow-paced, slightly meandering, and maybe even a little surprising, in spite of already knowing the destination. When we arrive, we'll say goodbye to Pedal Pale Ale until next year, and raise a glass of SNOW MELT WINTER ALE to toast it's passing, on me of course.

Like last year's Reverse Keg Ride, this one is right around Halloween, so this ride is COSTUME PREFERRED. And as a little encouragement, there will be prizes awarded in these three categories:

Best Beer-themed Costume
Best Pittsburgh-themed Costume
Best Team Costume
DIFFICULTY, PACE: There's no two ways about it. Riding from OTB to EEBC is an uphill trip. If you've not been on your bike for 3 years, this ride may not be for you. But we'll do our best to keep the pace nice and gentle, and keep the group together...which will mean some waiting around for the quicker riders. Part of this route will include a long climb through Panther Hollow, but we plan to stop at the end of this climb and re-mass the group, and wait for any stragglers.
