My plans were in flux until the early morning hours of yesterday's USPRO championship race in Philadelphia so I didn't do any degree of preplanning to catch up with any CR listmembers at the race. Nonetheless, the faithful were out in force. Curtis Anthony and Joel of Via had a nice shady spot for grilling and conversing on Lemon Hill. The folks from Bilenky were out in force with a minimum of five cargo bikes to carry their party supplies. Larry Black and Gilbert Anderson made the trek up north to join the encampment.
Spotted some nice old steel at intervals throughout the day and, as expected, some very interesting fixed gear conversions ranging from gaspipe to great. For my part, the Viking path got dusted off and proved its mettle when, for the second year in a row, I made a late departure and I needed to time trial out of the city up the Schuylkill River bicycle path in order to pick up my daughter from a pool party.
