Forest Hills to Downtown commute partner(s)

Been almost a month, figured I'd try again.

I live over in Wilkins Township and commute Tues-Sat. Its ~12 miles each way.

Usually hit Greensburg Pike between 7-710am, then leave downtown around 4pm (5pm Fri + Sat)

Wondering if anyone out there is interested in joining for some/all of the ride on a consistent basis. Somewhere between casual and racey. Not looking to break records, but I also like to move.

Route:

Greensburg Pike, down Penn Ave, through Wilkinsburg to Regeant Square, up Forbes into Squirrel Hill into Oakland, bomb down Schenley park, soccer fields to Eliza Furnace then straight into downtown. Then back home in reverse.

This is majority on street. Not entirely for the feint of heart or hesitant riders.

Sorry, no e-bikes unless you're gonna be my lead out the entire time!

Foreat Hills to Downtown Commute

I live over in Wilkins Township and have been commuting to/from downtown for bit and am starting to get bored riding solo. I commute Tues-Sat. Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat are the full Wilkins to/from Downtown, Thursday is a rest day, just doing Regeant Square to/from Downtown. Its 12 miles the 4 days and 8 the rest, so pretty tame 24/16.

Usually hit Greensburg Pike at 7/715am, then leave downtown via Eliza Furnace around 4pm.

Hilly, but not horrible. The only not so great part IMO is going back up Penn Ave from Wilkinsburg. ~1 mile climb with traffic.

Wondering if anyone out there is interested in joining for some/all of the ride on a daily/weekly basis. Somewhere between casual and racey. Not looking to break records, but I also want to get to/from work.

LMK if you're interested- I use Strava and save my routes there if you want to see it/them.

Sorry, no e-bikes unless you're gonna be my lead out the entire time!

*edit: guess I'll add this- im mid 30s, male.
