UPDATES TO THE 2023 RACE
*******please read*******

--> OPTIONAL REMOTE RACE START! <--
Checkpoint locations will be digitally dropped at go-time; racers can hit the ground pedaling from where-ever they happen to be in our fair-but-chilly city. Start from your garage, meet up at your friend's house for breakfast, or try to strategically position yourself somewhere in the city. Checkpoint locations drop at 11am. Checkpoints open at 12pm.

-->OPTIONAL START LOCATION: THE WHEEL MILL<--
If you would rather start with a group, we'll be at the Wheel Mill @ 6815 Hamilton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15208. We will have merch for sale, as well as any items pre-purchased for pick up. A stack of Bike Pgh maps will be available for route planning! Show up before 11 to maximize your route planning time once checkpoint locations drop.

--> RACE DURATION <--
The classic 1 hour to plan, 2 hour checkpoint window, 1 hour to get to the finish @ the Wheel Mill

--> MANDATORY FINISH<--
This year the race is finishing at the Wheel Mill. You have to make it there by 3pm to hand in your manifest and finish for rank. Once you turn in your manifest, you can hang out at the park and party prior to the podium and prize ceremony. Or take your spokecard and head over to KLVN Coffee, Goodlander Cocktails or East End Brewing for deals on drinks while you wait for podiums to be announced.

--> AFTERPARTY <--
 Once the prizes and podiums finish up, head to East End Brewing and Goodlander Cocktail Bar (both walking distance from the Wheel Mill) to keep the party going. Both venues will offer a complimentary drink for Frigid Bitch racers who present their race spokecard.
