Racers descending Ridge Ave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My friend Brett, who works for SE Racing<\/a>, hooked me and some friends up with passes to the Fuji<\/a> tent \u2013 near the top of the Manayunk Wall. Brett sponsored us some bagels, drinks, t-shirts, and access to port-a-potties, a HUGE upgrade from last year’s experience (long story).<\/p>\n

We made our traditional stop on Lemon Hill to watch the racers climb, and admire the variety of bikes and bike people.<\/p>\n

After watching a few laps along East Reservoir Drive, a completely uninhabited section of the course where we collected the racers’ (free) water bottles, we made our way to the Art Museum and found a vendor giving away water ice – free. We also acquired some samples of Kraft “Begalfulls” which were awesome. And free.<\/p>\n

We hung around the finish line area for the final laps then made our way back to the parking lot in Manayunk. This was a fun, steady spin down car-free Kelly Drive. We looked for large, fit people to draft as long as possible. A few years ago we got DROPPED by some long-haired dude on a Sears FreeSpirit in cut-off jean shorts and sandals. We eventually caught him when he stopped at Starbucks. Damn those “DUI fit” guys.<\/p>\n
