Cascade Cycling Classic
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.
