For the record: Another Brick in the Wall
Philadelphians are used to the annual Philadelphia International Cycling Championship (PICC) hitting walls—the Manayunk Wall, that is. The 156-mile classic remains the longest running and most important single-day cycling road race in the United States, with the steep half-mile “wall” being the ideal spot for race watchers. But this year, the PICC (or the Manayunk Bike Race, as it is locally called) was in danger of hitting another kind of wall—cancellation.
With the economy in a terrifying state and the city’s budget looking horrendous, the long standing tradition was in jeopardy. But the tenacity of our Mayor Nutter and Governor Rendell is legendary. Through the last minute Embrace the Race campaign, the city raised enough money through sponsors and donations to keep the race alive for a 25th year.
As a long time resident of “the ‘Borough,” I can’t imagine a summer without the Bike Race. So come join the hundreds of honorary Yunkers all day Sunday, June 7. The forecast is calling for clear skies and contrary to rumor, I promise you’ll see the cyclists whiz by in all their glory…at least once.
