Frigid Bitch 2019 Results

Frigid Bitch - back for year 6!

Continuing tradition as probably the biggest ladies/non-binary bike race in the universe with over 100 riders, this year’s Frigid Bitch expanded with first-time-ever-offered pre-registration and MORE PODIUMS. Held at Threadbare Cider in Spring Garden, at 10am on Saturday, February 16th, 2019, racers started flooding in to stock up on gear, check out the competition, and pick up their maps & manifests.

As always, there is a one hour window for racers to frantically plan their routes, forge alliances, and make friends. A few local ladies’ racing teams showed up in force, and some veteran Frigid Bitch ride-or-die gangs side-eyed up their matching kits and focused efficiency with determined fuck-it, let’s-do-this attitudes. New racers met riding partners on-site, and a handful of volunteers showed up to take in the crowd before heading out to their no-longer-secret positions.

A quarter to go-time, everyone was hustled outside to unlock their steeds and gear up for the start line.

THE CHECKPOINTS

Grandview Overlook Every year, for the out-of-towners, suburb queens, commuters who never stray from the beaten track - there’s always one checkpoint that everybody knows how to get to. Not that we’d make it easy! Pittsburgh’s famous overlook is a slag up Mt Washington, and with the main thru way closed, racers had to either bump it up via shattered sidewalks, or find away around. Volunteers were ready with a toast at the top!

Fineview Overlook In a city of hills and bridges you’re gonna have a lot of overlooks … Grandview’s much lesser known cousin on the Northside had racers figuring out how to find their way above the ballfield. Anyone who actually followed the map to this checkpoint found themselves climbing one of the toughest Dirty Dozen Hills….oh, did we do that? Whoops!

Herr’s Island Keep following the map in the other direction, and it’d take you down Rialto St (another Dirty Dozen Hill! Who drew this?!) and across the 30th St Bridge to Herr’s Island, haven of local crew teams and isolated Pgh elite. Everyone knows it’s there; most cyclists have zero reason to ever trek over. On the far end of the island, through some woods & down some steps to a gravel lot in a crumbling wall, volunteers were waiting with a camp fire to check off numbers of the racers who hiked-a-bike or threw down and hustled on foot.

5 Points Speaking of hike-a-biking, the furthest checkpoint from the start was tucked away in Pgh’s mountain biking mecca, Frick Park. There’s only one spot in the woods where 5 trails spike together in a star formations, colloquially known as…. FIVE POINTS!!! Entering the trail from Beechwood Blvd in Squirrel Hill, anyone who made it this far had to off-road their ride down dirt paths and over exposed roots. But hey, there was hot chocolate at the bottom!

Murray Hill Not far from 5 points, Murray Hill Ave gave everyone the opportunity to experience off- roading on a one of the most quintessential Pgh urban this-is-actually-still-a-road terrains (second only to massive potholes): brutally steep cobbles!

Iron Eden Metal Works Oh, but there were potholes. Snaking the back way up & down bombed-out Sassafras St, nestled in the shadows of the Bloomfield Bridge, lies a two-tiered & strange-looking structure. ~By night!~ a times-past underground venue in the woods, ~by day!~ a rustbelt relic: Iron Eden!

Bonus checkpoint feature: ~ * g l a m o u r s h o t s * ~

The Hot Metal Bridge It’s a classic. Need we say more?

The Boob Mausoleum Probably the most infamous tomb in the Allegheny Cemetery, the WHITE mausoleum features a bafflingly intense commitment to full-blown Egyptian theme&decor. Stationed just outside the crypt’s brass-cast pillar-flanked doors, 2 ~prominent~ sphinxes stand guard over the venerable (?) White family portal. Stationed just outside the sphinxes….Frigid Bitch BEACH PARTY!!

Mohawk St Finally, last in line but top of the list as far as checkpoint shenanigans go; bomb down Fifth Ave from Pitt campus and right before you hit the Birmingham Bridge, there’s a set of city steps that ascend into the woods of West Oakland. They spit out at Landslide Community Farms and a pink jersey barrier where volunteers waited with a camp fire* and a case of PBR. They’d set up a beer chute along the top of the stairs and stood in suspense while racers ran up the steps, not taking the bait. Finally, the vet bitch gang of Alex K, Katherine J and Frankie M threw their bikes over their shoulders, rushed the chute, grabbed a beer, cracked it with their teeth and chugged on the way up.

*if you missed the campfire, it’s because the fire dept showed up to put it out. See? Shenanigans!

Once the clock struck 2, everyone had 1 hour to race back to Threadbare. Bikes were slammed into the temp parking, road shoes clacked across the parking lot, the doors were thrown over and spoke card numbers hollered at the waiting table-side officials.

P A R T Y T I M E

Pizza was eaten, cider was drunk, war stories were exchanged! Multi-year Bitch Queen Elise R regaled audiences with a story that started as a complaint that she couldn’t run any red lights on the North Side because there were too many cops around, then perked up with details about bombing down towards an intersection from Mohawk, where a white SUV veered into the corner of the intersection, blocking traffic for Elise & her crew to blast their way through, waved them past and yelled “YEAH FRIGID BITCH!!!”

Prizes

Were there enough prizes to go around? Were people bugging the f out over how awesome they were? We’ll let these photos speak for themselves.

The Best Part

The Frigid Bitch has always been a race to promote empowerment in the cycling community, to show that underrepresented groups of people can kick just as much ass as the status quo, and to support organizations that in turn provide for others in need. To that end, funds raised via registration fees and anonymous pledges have always been given to the Greater Pittsburgh Women’s Center & Shelter. Over the past year, another organization has provided immeasurable support for the founders of the Frigid Bitch in their hour of need. This year’s race raised $730 for the Women’s Shelter and $400 for the Women’s Law Project. It couldn’t be done without the support of our racers & our community.

THANK YOU for another great year! To all of our sponsors, who are solely responsible for the joy fest you just witnessed above! To all my lovely volunteers, without whom this race would never get off the ground, and who pull out all the stops to make this the funnest goddamn alleycat in the whole universe. Thank you to my photographers, without you no one would ever know how fucking awesome this event is! Thank you to my little brother, who always finds the time to churn out another amazing race flyer! THANK YOU TO MY TEAM OF LADIES who helped me throw this race! Without you, Frigid Bitch #5 would have been the last of its kind! Thank you Di-ay, Elise #1 & Elise #2, Kat, Mattie, & Kaylin! Thank you Pittsburgh for being the only city I’d ever wish to be from! I’LL BE BACK!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Reggae former PUSA Hays Eagles

Hi,

I may have figured out how to post pictures on the blog. I went shopping got three bags of rock salt (a rare commodity these day) and a cheap TV, Preferred IT Solutions installed my new phone system Thursday, my hat's off to John and his crew. They got my phone bill cut in half and quadrupled my internet speed and best of all I figured out how I will be able to again play my Reggae in the mansion. So I had to get a smart TV and found this for $100:

Yea it worked. :)

Business seems to be picking up. I was sold out for Valentine's Day and almost sold out this past weekend. I've even been picking up some weekday business. Room sales (not room revenue) is going to be very good for a February (with my covid special-revenue is mediocre but that's better than many of my fellow small businesses and I am grateful for that. A lot of my reservations are again coming through my hated Expedia Group that charge me a 15% commission and I'm converting my new guests to booking directly through my website instead of from Expedia. I've had several already book repeat visits from my website.

Recently came back from 2 weeks in Florida, darn I needed that. Split the first week between my friend Jeff that owns The Inn on the Mexican War Streets in St Pete and my brother and his family in Tampa. Then second week I spend in Lake Worth where I used to live. Saw a bunch of old friends and ate my fill of Spanish street food. Came back to this nasty cold weather and snow. My electric Snow Joe does such a great job when the snow is cold and dry. It's light and easy to maneuver. I can do the 140' side walk and parking lot in about 2 hours instead of all day with a shovel. If you are looking for an affordable snow blower that generally works great checkout the Snow Joe.

Thank god that idiot is out of the White House. He's left such a mess for poor President Biden to clean up. One of the big things he ignored was this pandemic. I think the cold blooded bast*** did on purpose to "cull" the dependents on society that aren't multimillionaires. Get rid of the old people that collect SS and subsidized housing and the poor people.

The best part of his demise, two on my radar, all the companies severing ties to the Trump organization best of all Deutsche Bank has said when his loans are up they will not renew or renegotiate a $400M loan. So he's going to have to go out and find other lenders and everyone has seen how he operates and I don't think a bank is going to be stupid and buy his bluster, so his terms won't be as favorable as in the past. And he won't be able to use our Justice system (whom he despises and maligns like our Intelligence agencies) for free and will have to hire lawyers to defend himself from all the civil and criminal law suites. He may actually go belly up. :) :) :) :) Mitch Mitch McConnell even suggested that people bring civil and criminal suites against him, damn did that invoke a nasty tweet from DJT. He did not go out with grace, his legacy will be the first president impeached twice and the first to incite an insurrection. I never liked the man and you even could say despised him as our PUSA. In case I haven't said before I worked for him (actually his first bought bride Ivana) at Trump Towers in Atlantic City for a year and knew the small business owner (Nicolas Jacobsen) in West Palm Beach he refused to pay the $33,977 for three chandeliers he installed in Mar-a-Lago ballroom in 2005. And here we are in 2021 and Mr. Jacobsen is now filing a defamation lawsuit against Trump for $1M.

The Problem with America isn't a racial issue. We are all fed up with the lies and deceit coming from our elected officials or their appointed persons. The double talk out of them is so infuriating. Big and small issues, you can't believe anything they say, And we all know they are lying to us. Water quality is a blatant example of this. Flint MI bureaucrats lied for years about lead in their water system and then PGH water authority did the same. Until the feds came in and called them up on it. DJT really hit the nail on the head with this, maybe he's not as stupid as I think he is. His constant whining about the fake news really hit home with many people. Instead of focusing on all the "fake news" out there he only zeroed in on news against him.

While I'm whining, I went to Penn State and was fed up with the ivory tower mentality of the administration way back then. When the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke and the then president Graham Spanier did all the double talk and back tracking "he didn't know anything" the l lost all respect for PSU's administration. And Spanier continued to receive his pay, even though he was accused of criminal behavior. Shouldn't universities set an example of how things should be run?

Speaking of higher education, I like what Robert Morris University is doing. They have teamed up with local community colleges where you can enroll at the community college and get direct credits much more affordable than RMU's cost. A nice alternative if you have anyone thinking of pursuing a college degree. I know they already have an agreement with Beaver County Community College and believe they are working on an agreement with Community College of Allegheny.

Have you been watching the Hay's Eagle nest on the web cam? They now have 3 eggs. The other day, some stupid racoon climbed the tree to get at the eggs, mom would have nothing to do with it, she really got upset and showed him who's boss before dad showed up as back up. It was pretty funny.

Celine Dion is scheduled to perform at PPG Paints Arena September 24, get your tickets because she's sure to sell out and be sure to book at The Parador. Remember it's a five minute walk from my Inn to the "T" (our light rail system) and then a five minute walk to the Arena from the Steel Plaza station and the "T"'s free. No hassles driving, parking or if you imbibe concerns about a DUI. Book soon here if you want a one night visit, when I start selling out, I will bump it up to a two night minimum. :)

Speaking of concerts, Kenney Chesney will be at Heinz Field June 12 and I still have 2 rooms left. Def Leppard, Mtley Crue Joan Jett will be at PNC Park July 22 and I still have some rooms left.

Well, I'm tired and going to sign off, I should have my Reggae set up by Thursday, waiting on a part. That might motivate me to do another blog this coming weekend. Take care, keep warm, stay safe and say hi to a neighbor,
