Previous edition | Redlands Bicycle Classic |
The Redlands Bicycle Classic is the longest continuous running invitational, professional stage race in American bike racing. The race began in 1985 after the 1984 Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles and the US team earned a record number of medals in cycling. It has been a foundation of the early domestic racing scene for 35 years, with local residents providing host housing for most of the riders.
The race was postponed for two years due to the COVID pandemic before returning in 2022. Tyler Stites (Project Echelon) sealed the overall men’s win last year after finishing third in the final stage, the iconic Sunset Road Race. In the women’s race, Heidi Franz (Instafund) took advantage of the tough final day of racing by escaping halfway into the stage and storming away to snatch the overall victory.
The five women’s and men’s stages take place in and around Redlands, California, and include a circuit race, a time trial, a criterium and two road races.
