The Cascade Cycling Classic was the longest running elite road bicycle racing stage race in the United States (1980–2019), with 2018 being the only year the race was not held.[1] The race was held again in 2019, but then canceled due to Covid in 2020.[2]
The race took place in the Central Oregon region and was based in Bend, Oregon. It was a regular fixture for most of North America's top cyclists and teams.[3] Owned and managed by the Cascade Cycling Classic Youth Foundation,[4] former pro cyclist and two-time national road champion Bart Bowen was both the foundation's executive director and the classic's race director. Bowen won the CCC in 1993.
