This show needs little introduction because of the sheer magnitude of what Carlos Rogers and his team at the Philly Classic are achieving - to be clear, that is bringing the greatest single day race in America back from the grave. 

This discussion hits home because I’m from Philly and spent 30 years of my life there, so the return of this road race to the calendar is a huge source of pride, especially because it is THE contemporary model for other American race promoters.

Tune in for the story behind the modern day Philadelphia Cycling Classic, including how Carlos and his team signed on Amerigas, the flagship sponsor, and how he convinced no fewer than 8 world tour teams to sign on year one. This one is close to my heart, enjoy.

Join us Saturday, September 5 at 7:00 AM at the Meteor for a 45-mile hills ride. Everyone is welcome to join this ride, but be ready for some hard hills. This ride is about pushing hard, encouraging each other, and having a good time. Bring plenty of water. This is a drop ride, but we will have short regroups at the top of High Road, Cuernavaca, and Lost Creek.
