The Bucks County Classic in Doylestown Pennsylvania is more than just a race. It embraces the sport of cycling and offers experiences for all ages to participate. Racers gave their all on Sunday as they circled the eight-turn 1.4-mile course vying for their piece of the prize.
On Friday night the community was invited to join a race kickoff ride and on Sunday the Jarrett Vaughan Builders kids races and the Herald Bike Parade offered opportunities for locals.
