he exciting Reading Radsport Festival brought professional

On Friday evening, citizen and pro cyclists tested their strength and
skill against the formidable Mount Penn as they raced from Reading's
historic City Park, up the winding switchbacks of Duryea Drive, to the
landmark Pagoda and then on to the summit of the mountain at the
William Penn Memorial Firetower. Queens and Kings of the mountain
were "crowned" and celebrated as they earned the respect of everyone
by posting the fastest times up the mountain. They, and everyone else
participating, earned a place in the storied and ongoing historic timeline
of bicycling in the region while they also rode the mountain to benefit
adults and youth served by the Reading Recreation Commission.

On Saturday evening, cyclists continued with the two-day event
by racing in the breathtaking West Reading Twilight Criterium on a
0.8-mile loop designed to showcase the vibrant community including
Penn Avenue as the main area of the start/finish area. With its shoplined streets and hundreds of cheering spectators, the race provided an
evening that will be long remembered by participants and spectators.
The Reading Radsport Festival events included live music, as well as
races for kids, citizen cyclists, and professional cyclists traveling from all
over the country to race in Reading and West Reading.
