The crown jewel of North American cycling is the Philadelphia International Championship, now celebrating its 28th year. More than 180 of the world’s top male professional cyclists descend upon the city of Philadelphia to race in the longest running and only UCI Hors Category single-day cycling road race in the United States. Professional men will complete seven laps of a 14.7-mile circuit over the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Kelly Drive and Manayunk Wall. Start time 10:45am Sunday

They will finish with five laps of Lemon Hill and Logan’s Circle, in one of the biggest special sporting events in the United States. Total race distance: 124 Miles
Over 100 professional, international women cyclists will compete in the 18th annual Liberty Classic. The 60 mile race consists of four laps of the 14.7-mile circuit through Philadelphia with 4 steep climbs up the grueling Manayunk Wall. The Liberty Classic is held during the men’s International Championship on the same course.

For the first time in the history of the Championship, amateur and recreational cyclists will be able to ride three timed laps of the iconic course in the Bicycling Magazine Open before the start of the Pro Championship.

I used to go to that race every year from 2004 - 2009, under its many guises and I loved it. I lived in Trenton and Burlington NJ and just took the High Speed Line into Philly and rode around the race. Damn do I miss that race. Philly is a pretty darned great city for a bike race. Please share your pics with us (or at least, me).

I really envy you.

Cheers,

I hope to be there as well. With a camera! Got some great shots in the past and even framed a few!

Anyone know if this will be televised? I thought I watched this race last year on TV.
