  1. The sunrise today really captured my attention. It was magnificent as
    it rose over the Ben Franklin Bridge even though it was rising in a
    crappy city like Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the picture was taken
    with my camera phone through my office window. It doesn't do it
    justice, you'll just have to take my word for it.

    Directly across the street from the Liberty Bell (5th and Chestnut) on
    Independence Mall in Philadelphia, PA on the 16th Floor.

    Lived here for 22 years and I could make a negative comment about
    everything you mentioned. You forgot Betsy Ross and the Eagles too.

    And to put this back to MTB, Wissahickon has been pretty much destroyed
    by the floods in the past month. The city decided it would be easier to
    just go through the park with a bobcat rather than repair the trails
    correctly. So now the only local MTB venue is a muddy four foot wide
    wreck. Anything remotely technical has been pretty much wiped out.
    It's going to take years to fix it and the city doesn't want to give any
    money to the park commission to help. The mayor would rather spend
    $32,000 on a desk for his office. This has to be one of the most
    corrupt cities in the country. It's a damn shame. The only beautiful
    place in this deteriorating city will not get any attention. I could go
    on and on, but that's for another place and time.

    No. I live in South Jersey (Cherry Hill area) about 12 miles from my
    office. I ride frequently in Deleware on Sunday's with the club.

  8. Nothing like the days of Mayor Frank Rizzo. What about
    Fairmount park. There is a race held there every year. Last time I was
    in that area I rode the State Hospital in the NE.

    For MTB, Wissahickon is part of Fairmont Park. The only MTB races held
    there are adventure races. The "Friends of Wissahickon" are sort of a
    watchdog group and they discourage the use of the park for racing. We
    have been working with them to have a Poker Run to help raise money for
    the flood damage repair. In NE Philly, it's Pennypack Park.

  10. Cherry hill park and the horse track. And lets not
    forget I got married there in 73 by the mayor. No I'm not married or to
    the same woman. Ever ride Fort Dix NJ. Like next Lakehurst.

  11. I was going to ride Penny Pack this last May when I was
    in town for a party. I couldn't keep my head up from a
    sinus infection that stayed with me all of May. PP was my fishing hole
    right off the Blvd.
