Description
A sick course with an urban edge to it, burms, jumps, steps, ramps and hug gaps. It's the only course of it's kind and I promise if you miss this you will regret it, that's how much of a thrill you will get. Riders from all abilities are welcome to ride it, there are go-arounds if you choose to go around something.

Review: The duryea is held here which runs 2.1 miles with very nice jumps. If youre not racing in the duryea there are road gaps to avoid. Starting at the fire tower there are more trails and decent jumps if you keep to the left. You will also have an average of 30 to 40 mph on the "duryea" trail.

Review: I do not recommend going there thru the city.. From reading, go 12E to Spring Valley Rd, head south (right) off the hiway and then left onto McKnights Gap. Follow that up to the stop sign and take a left, then a quick right onto Skyline Rd. Follow Skyline Rd a bit, you can't miss the big fire tower and communications tower up there.

Review: Airfield is actually Drenkel Field, home of the Flying Dutchmen model airplane field along Skyline Drive on Mt. Penn. You can also access that area either from behind or to the right of the William Penn Memorial Fire tower. There is also another area behind the over look that's just before the Pagoda, that entire area is called the network . Mt Penn, front and back is the best riding around. There is fast down hill, single track technical down hill, killer cross country and some serious hill climbing. The trails are sort of marked but there are off shoots everywhere. If you get lost just go up or down, depending on where you started. you will always come to a road because the system crosses several back roads. Have fun its worth it. Most of Reading doesn't know what it has right in its back yard. Did I mention the historic ruins? * Review edited 4/29/2010
