Welcome to the Tour du District Blog

The Tour Du District charity cycling event will offer cyclists three routes to choose from. The 25 mile route and 30 mile route will depart at 7:30 am. The 25 mile route will traverse through 12 communities located in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh. The 30 mile hill route will follow the same route as the 25 mile route and will add an additional 5 miles of steep hills. The hills in the 30 mile route are some of the steepest percentage grade hills in Allegheny County. The hills in the 30 mile route will make the 30 miles feel more like a 50-60 mile ride on flat roads. The 5 mile leisurely route will be a great opportunity for riders to participate in the event without enduring the more intermediate rides. Please consider supporting this great fall cycling event!
