Yesterday's Pro Cycling Race in Manayunk was unbelievable. It was over 90 degrees and these athletes spent six hours and 10 trips up "The Wall." proving who was the best. Paul and I got in the spirit by parking our car in Valley Forge Park and riding our bikes the 15+ miles to Manayunk to watch the race with Matt and Joanna and their friends. Their house is just feet from the course and we were able to enjoy the shade of their backyard in between the ride by's. It was amazing. The bikers were followed by their support vehicles and I think they were all going at least 50mph. The cars were bottoming out on roads with a 25mph posted speed limit. We saw one crash, we think the riders front fork just cracked so he somersaulted into the air. The rider following him got caught up in the crash. Both riders were back on new bikes within minutes, maybe even seconds. I was surprised the cars didn't crash into one another. The crowd was another story. Most had been drinking from before post time at 9 am. I can't even begin to describe it. I want to go next year. This was a fun day!
