From the sweepstakes email this year:
Buggy Freeroll Practices

The annual Buggy free roll practices will start Sunday, September 21, 2014. Practices take place on Saturdays (5am to 8:50 am) and Sundays (5am to 9am) on Tech Street, Frew Street and Schenley Drive (weather permitting). The Sweepstakes Committee and advisor in charge of the event have taken care of obtaining permits from the City of Pittsburgh, obtaining permission for use of the metered areas and taking care of signage and safety. Four Pittsburgh City Officers will be present for each date from 5am-9am (roads will close at 5am). They are positioned at the far end of Westinghouse Drive; behind Carnegie Library by the bridge; Panther Hollow Bridge; and at the top of Schenley Drive by Forbes Avenue near the Golf Course. Margaret Morrison Street is closed after Donner House (at the stop sign).



The following dates are scheduled for the free roll practices (weather permitting):


September: 21, 27

October: 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26

Indeed there were rolls this past weekend! Unfortunately I was out of town so I'm still collecting notes from people that were there. Expect a post to go up tomorrow at the normal time.

If anyone managed to get some pictures, please email news@cmubuggy.org and I'll make sure there's an album up for you to upload to.
