Crushing the Commonwealth

Things are still being hashed out here, not all of us in Stillers' land are thinking Super Bowl.

Crushing the Commonwealth or,
this is a long ride for someone with nothing to think about.


Last weekend in April, Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.

Route follows PA Bicycle Route S with connectors to Philly and Pgh.

Registration? Still pending

Entry Fee-something you would want after finishing the ride

Start-Liberty Bell

End-Point State Park

Distance-probably over 350 miles still working on that

Questions-post here

Warning!!!!!

This is an unsupported event. You get lost, get tired, break your bike, YOU need to get yourself home. No sag wagon, no aid stations, no drop bags. Think alley cat, now think much much bigger.

More as we settle on things.

T-shirts and spoke cards for all finishers, maybe some home brew if I get the time to fire a batch up.

As of now we have no super enduro folks who may attempt this ride in one long push. All folks interested so far plan on sleeping out at least one night, so this may be a bit more of a friendly contest than a full on hammer fest for the super fit.

Oh, there will be a few of us genetic freaks that show up to swallow this be-atch in one bite. 350 miles? An easy 24 hour ride.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGhhhhhh!

I'll be waiting pal. I've been doing 8 hour trainer sessions all winter.

My heart rate is ZERO!

I've done something exactly like this a while ago on the west coast from San Fran to Portland. I said I would never fucking ever do anything like that again....

I am such a liar.

Good luck everyone getting second place. I promise I won't eat all of the food and drink all of the booze at the finish. I plan on sharing it with the podium girls after I win.
