Univest Grand Prix Bike Race

This past Saturday, September 17, I watched a large part of the Univest Grand Prix, a 100 mile bike race centering in Souderton, Montgomery County, PA consisting of 150 riders from 26 teams. The race is international and consisted of riders from the following countries: USA, Australia, Canada, Cuba, Sweden, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, New Zealand, Argentina, Belarus, Hungary, and Luxembourg. It was great fun to watch the riders. The winner was Canadian Ryan Roth from Team SpiderTech who completed the race in three hours, fifty two minutes, and twenty seven seconds. At one time,  I dreamed of riding like them. That will no longer happen; though before I was married, I did once complete a 100 mile bike ride in Lancaster County, PA. However, below are some photos from this amazing bike race.

    I admire people that can do that extreme sport. It almost tires me out just looking at the pictures, which incedentially are terrific.

    Un très beau spectacle. Je crois voir le tour de France à la télévision. Les coureurs avec les casques et les lunettes de soleil penchent, tellement ils sont rapides dans les virages.
    It was not so easy to catch these pictures and you really did a good job !

    Fabulous images, Tim, of an event I;d love seeing myself in person. 100 miles is a long bike ride! Good for you to have done it in your past. Today Astrid and I will be riding the bike 3 km away and that will be a nice ride. :)
