The headline in the Inquirer today is Fast Times in Manayunk. Yesterday was the Philadelphia International Championship Bike Race. It's 10 laps of 14 mile loops through the city of Philadelphia. The feature attraction for many is the Manayunk Wall, the steepest part of the race that runs right through our neighborhood. This year some friends invited us to their party on Manayunk Ave where the race was right outside their door. (See the first picture) Anna and Jason hired me to shoot their wedding this coming November. I thought these guys were really into the race with their biking gear and spandex etc, but Anna was a competitive biker in College.
On this day it's like one huge block party through the city, but especially in Manayunk. For those of you that didn't know, Manayunk is an Lenape Indian word for 'the place to drink.' No joke. The race starts at 9 in the morning and so does the drinking. Great party, great people, great race. Here are a couple pictures and check out this link for more pictures.
