2007 Philly Livestrong Challenge route June 15, 2007
Posted by Duncan Brook in : Fight cancer , add a commentOoh a nice description of this year’s route from the Livestrong website:
The LIVESTRONG Challenge Philadelphia routes are a cyclist’s dream, providing a combination of incredible climbs, descents and views. The wooded scenery, historic landmarks and pristine road conditions make the 2007 route one to remember. The course sets out from Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA in scenic Whitpain Township and heads west on Morris Road into beautiful rural surroundings. It then proceeds west and traverses the Green Lane Reservoir before continuing further northwest up Kutztown Road into Bucks County, home of picturesque vineyards, historic monuments and preserved farmlands where the likes of George Washington once camped. The 100-mile course turns south for home once in Dryville and winds through the scenic countryside of Oley and Boyertown before returning to MCCC for the Post Event Party.
Overall, all the course distances for the LIVESTRONG Challenge Philadelphia encompass moderate to difficult terrain with some steep climbs. The 100-mile course will ascend a total of 8,000 ft. before finishing at MCCC.

peer into my words
and hear your beauty call
you may think it ragged and bare
but i’d whisper from no other wall
