Does anyone have any ideas on where the course might be in Pittsburgh next year? Have they held the games there before? I'd love to find an old course map and dig into what the climbs might be like.

Washington State Senior Games in 2023 = Olympia.
Cycling in TT (5 + 10k) and Road Race (40k) on July 30, 2023

Five-year age groups, beginning at 50.

The cycling event was cancelled in 2022. In 2021 there was only one entrant in my age category in each event. Hmmmm! 19-20mph would have been a winner that year. Should be trainable.

I am interested in finding out course details for the TTs and road races. I knew Florida was flat, but I didn't realize just how flat it really is. A little terrain would be helpful from my perspective. BTW, the cycling organizers in Florida were not that great, though I'm glad they stepped up at all. Apparently they were running race promoters and didn't understand the differences for bicycle racing. Water under the bridge. Hope Pittsburgh organizers are better. I did send a note to NSGA about Florida races and never heard anything back.

It does seem like we'd have a course outline 5 months before a national event so we could tailor our training a bit. For that matter, I want to be sure my hotel isn't 30 miles away, if they move the road events away from the main events like they did in Albuquerque/Santa Fe. Fortunatelym we knew about that one fairly early and could train and book rooms accordingly.
