The sun warmed the asphalt as riders gathered at the pump track—a ribbon of rolling curves and sweeping berms waiting like a silent referee. People from Lititz pedaled in from all directions: some rode single-speed cruisers, others showed off mountain bikes gleaming in the morning light. From Lebanon came a different crew—steely-eyed and confident, the folks who lived near Coleman Park’s pump track and knew the feel of every contour beneath their tires.
We called it the Cross‑County Pump Jam: friendly, loud, and unplanned. No trophies, no sponsors, just two towns and a day’s worth of wheels and laughter. The Lititz riders joked with one another about their favorite lines, eyes on the rippling rollers ahead. The Lebanon crew warmed up with practiced pumping, their wheels singing against the concrete. Everyone knew today wasn’t about winning by points; it was about finding flow, finding speed, and finding connection.
The competition began in waves of motion. First, the beginners—kids with helmets twice the size of their heads and smiles so big their cheeks nearly touched their shoulders. They zipped and wobbled, cheered on by whispers of advice from older riders. Next, the intermediates—Lititz’s quick-footed flyers took smooth laps, while Lebanon’s riders dug deep into the berms, carving perfect arcs that looked like ribbons trailing behind them.
Spectators lined the edges, clapping after clean runs and catching breath between cheers. A father from Lititz gave a little fist pump as his daughter popped perfectly over a roller. From Lebanon, a group of teens whooped aloud, celebrating a tight second lap without a single pedal push.
The sun shifted low, shadowing every turn and dip. Then came the final round—Adults Only. Bikes of every size and style erupted into motion. A Lititz rider found a rhythm unmatched, energy pulsing through every crest and fall. A Lebanon rider matched him, wheel for wheel, grit for grit. Round after round they danced, pumping through each valley, arcing around corners like they were in conversation with the track itself.
By dusk, the scoreboards were forgotten. No one declared a champion—because on a track like this, everyone had won. They high‑fived, swapped stories, traded gear, and made plans to meet again. It wasn’t about whose town was better—just whose heart beat fastest riding these curves together.
And when the last rider pulled off the track, tires still warm, no one knew who had truly won—but everyone felt like a winner all the same.
