ROUND*UP 2007: We took one of the many Chinatown buses from NYC to Philly - $25 round trip, 2 hours. Bag the bikes and stow them under the bus. I set mine atop the spare tire and it didn't move. At BF Philly Dealer Trophy Bikes with BF owner Al Gilens, publisher Jeff Potter, the Galfromdownunder, and a folded tikit! BF Club NYC member Dave Holowka, JEff Potter, Mike McGettigan of Trophy Bikes and a Bike Friday prospect - with my Pro Petite. The Manayunk Hill climb, a 17% hill that the USPro racers do 10 times. Mike gives iut his best shot! This guy came third in his division - he scared away most of the competition...

Mike McGettigan recovers after the Manayunk Hill Climb. Look at all the red faces after the Manaynk Hil Climb - that's after we'd be standing around recovering. Matthew and Peter Reich of Swift/Xootr at the right. This Dahon owner was smokin' up that hill. Team Xootr/Swift - founder Peter Reich and Matthew. These guys thought they won but were pipped at the last moment.

The overall winner - from Uruguay, did the climb at 1:20. I did a dismal 2:50 so you get the idea. Sports commentator Todd Gogulski and his wife Mc'd the Manayunk Hill Climb. He's borrowed a BF from his friend and says he's jazzed! The hill climb winners, Cat 1 - 1:20 was the winning time. The hillclimb winners in the citizen category. The start of the Saturday seminars - the room kept filling as the morning wore on.
