The Redlands Bicycle Classic is the longest continuous running invitational, professional cyclingstage race in American bike racing, located in Redlands, California, United States. The race began in 1985 after the 1984 Summer Olympic Games were held nearby in Los Angeles, in which the Team USA earned a record number of medals in cycling. It has been a foundation of the early domestic racing scene for 35 years. It consists of three road races, an individual time trial and a criterium. It is a 5-day/5-stage race that covers approximately 350 miles. The annual event is sponsored by the city of Redlands. Men and women compete in separate categories and the field is limited to 200 entrants.
In 2014, the Redlands hosted a fifth stage (and fifth day) of competition, for the first time. It had a new circuit race added to the start of the classic stage race.[1]
