The Mount Penn loop offers a rewarding road cycling experience, winding through lush landscapes with demanding climbs that lead to impressive vistas. This moderate 14.1-mile (22.6 km) route features 1061 feet (323 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete. You'll find yourself pushing through significant ascents, but the payoff comes with panoramic views, especially from the historic Reading Pagoda.
For those planning a visit, parking is often available near the Reading Pagoda, which makes for a convenient starting point. While the route is primarily on well-paved roads, be prepared for strenuous climbs that require good fitness. Winter cycling is an option, but watch out for colder temperatures and potential icy patches on the ascents.
This road cycling route is distinct from the area's mountain biking trails, which are known for their rocky and technical terrain. The Mount Penn loop focuses on road surfaces, offering a challenging workout with scenic rewards along Skyline Drive and the opportunity to explore the natural beauty within the Mount Penn Preserve.
