Liberty Classic 2007


We survived the first lap - rubber side down. I made it to the climb clinging to the tail end of the pack as it stretched up the Manayunk Wall. Here are a few pictures as I lost contact over the top and did not get reconnected.

I will post later on the adventures of laps 2 and 3. I will say I was impressed that I could ride the wall one-handed. It was right after this section that I grabbed a beer from a spectator and had a swig. I would have loved to have chugged the bugger but I could not breath, even going my beer drinking pace up the Wall.
