~130 riders, 6 checkpoints, and a big afterparty: Our women & non-binary community took an adventure around town then partied it up at Grist House

This past Sunday on November 8, 2026, riders rolled out for our WMNBikePGH Scavenger Hunt Ride + Party.

Our community of women, trans, and non-binary riders showed up to explore the city, meet new friends, and celebrate being celebrated in our bike community. We had riders of all skill levels, from newbies on their first city route-planning journey to seasoned regulars ready to crush some miles together… and it was the perfect fall day for a ride around Pittsburgh!

Riders took on six checkpoints across town, having fun, connecting, and hitting whatever checkpoints they wanted. Each stop was hosted by our incredible volunteers (huge thank you to them!) who kept the energy HIGH. Shoutout to the volunteer pierogi makers, candy givers, kitty cats, and everyone who made the checkpoints a joy to visit.

After decoding the clues and hitting the stops, everyone gathered back at Grist House in Millvale for the afterparty, with free pizza and a drink, delicious Cinnaholic treats, and over $2000 in raffle prizes donated by generous businesses.

Riders cashed in their manifests for raffle tickets and had the chance to win these awesome prizes, from businesses including:

• Coeur Sports, Knot Now Not Later, Po Campo, Driftwood, Woods Room, Cleverhood, Velocio, Portland Design Works, Terry Bicycles, Thick Bikes, Carnegie Museums, Lynt, Shredly, PMA Tattoo, The Soft Spot, Coven Brewing, Una Biologicals, Kindred, REI Pittsburgh

Big thanks to everyone who came out to ride, our checkpoint volunteers and staff for making it all happen, and to Grist House in Millvale for hosting us!
