Finish up the Manayunk Wall per Strava: https://www.strava.com/segments/612783 - two quick turns to start with Cresson Street being smooth brick.

The course is a circuit, raced 9 times by the men and 6 by the women.

Last year's women's winner (Armitstead) is not returning, but her team will feature Megan Guarnier and two-time winner Evelyn Stevens. Carlos Barbero Cuesta (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), victor for the 2015 men's race will be racing.

Didn't see a thread for it. Storms in the forecast for tomorrow but it looks like the worst of it holds off until after the racing will finish.

View of the double turn onto/off Cresson to start the wall. 3 laps down? Had to shrink photo way down to attach... never mind, board attachment quota reached?!

It's a crying shame what this race has become. It used to be a really nice race with big teams and stars. Geez I saw Fignon and Bugno there. Now I don't even bother to attend, haven't been in a few years now.

I'm still here regardless - don't get a lot of chances to see a big race out here. I'll be here for the women's race too. Too bad I can't attach pics.

I went to the race in the mid-2000's when I lived in Philly and the race had a really fun atmosphere. I actually like the finish they have now in Manayunk, kind of reminds me of Flèche.

The streaming race coverage is pretty good. Nothing else on, so I'll watch. I would go if I was there!

I haven't watched in a few years, but with the course the way that it is, at some point could the riders end up going opposite each other on Kelly Drive if the there are big breaks in the field (i.e. a group going toward Manayunk on Kelly Dr. while others still going toward Lemon Hill)? Just wondering, since there are no divider on Kelly Drive, it seems like that could result in some messiness if riders don't stay on their respective sides.
