The Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop

Riders in the 2009 Eschborn-Frankfurt Loop race
The Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop is the new name for the 190 km long bike race “Rund um den Henninger-Turm“, which had to change its name after the last race in 2008 when the sponsor, the Henninger Brewery, dropped their sponsorship of the race (which has been run annually since 1961).

It takes place on the 1st May each year, and passes a few hundred meters from where we live, so we walked up to watch the bikes go by.

The bike racks on the support cars are quite something, taking four or more bikes on the roof or a large number of spare wheels.
