The streets of downtown West Chester exploded with excitement as hundreds of cyclists raced through this challenging circuit at speeds in excess of 35mph.

 

It’s the Iron Hill Twilight Criterium, one of the top races on the east coast!

 

The crowd cheered on national and local athletes as they pushed themselves to the limits of ability.

 

The Cyclingnews.com published gallery of the action can be seen here: www.cyclingnews.com/races/iron-hill-twilight-criterium-20...

 

Adding importance to this year’s event is the fact that the West Chester event was the ninth of ten races in the USA CRITS Championship Series, making it one of the last opportunities for riders to protect or improve their standings before the final invitational.

 

The action begins and ends at the intersection of Gay and High Streets, home of the title sponsor Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant.

 

About the route:

 

The Iron Hill Twilight Criterium is a 0.6-mile course over 8 city blocks on the streets of historic downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania, featuring four 90 degree turns and one short rise.

 

The Start/Finish Line is next to the Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant, the title sponsor, at the intersection of Gay and High Streets.

 

 

Photographer Dave Gill has been specialized in capturing key moments in bicycle racing for the better part of this decade, working extensively with Cyclingnews.com, Velonews.com, and Pezcyclingnews.com.

 

I also cover a wide variety of genre's beyond cycling, with images carried in the USAToday, NY Times, Washington Post, Raleigh News and Observer, Durham Herald, Economist, and the Huffington Post.

 

Next year I'm on tap to cover races in the continental United States, and am especially looking forward Tirrenno-Adriaco next spring in Italy.

 

Chow!
