According to PA Alerts: "The GWB North Sidewalk is open."  That usually means the south side is closed. According to the website, this is through tomorrow (Friday), with the south path open on Saturday.


 

Visiting Cyclist

Submitted by PaulB on Thu, 04/24/2014 - 1:32pm

I am visiting from the UK in May and I am trying to find somewhere I can keep up my training (in a moment of madness I signed up for La Marmotte). So I am probably looking for a hotel with a really good gym, or a really good gym that has something like a Wattbike. Any suggestions? Or anywhere in the city you can hire road bikes? I would really appreciate any help.

"He had a hard time gripping the baseball. Unknown to us, he put (illegal pine tar on his pitching hand) and went out there," Girardi said. "It's a young kid. I don't think he's trying to...cheat. I think he's just trying to go out there and compete."
