Here’s the skinny on a Pennsylvania race coming up, and yeah, it’s a $10,000 pro 1-2 race, you greedy buggers!
Get ready for the return of the Iron Hill Twilight Criterium, a professional cycling race in historic West Chester, Pennsylvania!
On Saturday June 17th, the downtown streets of West Chester will be buzzing with excitement as a hundred professional and USCF licensed cyclists race the circuit. At speeds of 35 mph, racers will jockey for position while navigating narrow streets and tight corners. The action begins at the intersection of Gay and High Streets, the home of title sponsor Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant.
Once again, this event promises a weekend of free fun for families. Cycling enthusiasts and spectators will be thrilled with the action-packed race schedule that starts at 1pm. Amateur races span Saturday afternoon, including a kid’s race (for ages 3 – 14). On Sunday, riders of all levels will enjoy recreational bike tours starting at Hoopes Park in West Chester and traveling through the bucolic countryside of Chester County.
You’ll love the hospitality and charm of West Chester—with its hip shops, art galleries and superb restaurants—as a backdrop to this captivating event! Don’t miss this opportunity to see the world’s top cyclists compete in this premier race!

this race rocks, if you want to see how fast you are or how slow, go race this one, last year it was a gut check. i was 20 somthing and very very happy with my non- result.
There is another gut check on this date – the NYS TT champs on the extended Owasco course. It is hilly and hard. It does have the benefit of self-inflicted pain as opposed to the crit where you HAVE to follow the excrutiating pace to stay in the race. Ah, youth. Good luck to all you King Crit Axis guys. See you at Harlem.
