Pittsburgh's Dirty Dozen ride

This video is from the Dirty Dozen's Canton Ave., hill #9 of 13 (baker's dozen). It's a 37% grade, evidently the steepest paved road in the world. This year, I could only make 4 of of the hills since I had to work. I did all 13 hills the previous year, and fortunately all on my first attempt. This year, 300+ riders came out for the event which was the biggest in the history of the ride. Good stuff!

Cross season sadly coming to close

Unfortunately, cyclocross season is almost over. However, it's been a great season with ABRA racing making for some excellent courses this fall. Favorites were Amity and Bruceton Mills. Amity because of how technical the course was, and Bruceton Mills because of how well I did and the open sprint sections. Just a few more related pics for the blog.
