Biking for Baseball

Has anyone heard about these guys?

http://www.bikingforbaseball.org


They'll be in Pittsburgh August 11. The staff at BikePGH can't organize anything due to the Bike Fest week previous. How about some members get together and organize a great welcome for them? I think it would be great publicity to show Pittsburgh is a very bike-friendly city.... or just a friendly city in general. You could also get together with Pittsburgh Big Brothers/Big Sisters possibleyWhat do you think? I've contacted PNC Park but haven't heard from them. I'm committed to another event that day or I WOULD BE THERE!!

There was a baseball tour link in another thread not too long ago - not sure if it's the same guys though. Meeting people biking through can be fun and I highly reccomend it, but it can be hard to coordinate.

Yep. Same guys. I started a thread on this a couple of days ago. Bucket List the thread title, maybe?


I've been in communication with them off and on via FB. This was the most recent "update" I got from them:


.....Right now we have our event scheduled with Big Brothers and Big Sisters from 10 am - 12 pm on Saturday August, 11th, and we're working on tickets to the Pirates game for Friday, August 10. Other than that,,, we are wide open! Is there a good website for the activities going on in the Pittsburgh area for the weekend that we are there? We'd love the guidance thanks so much for thinking of us.....


They are coming in from Cleveland. I was thinking of sending them the recommended route information from/to Cleveland. I guess I should do that soon, huh?
