When a race goes on for more than 25 years, their has to be something special about it. Redlands Bicycle Classic is one of them. After I got the bad news about the sponsorship lost in Japan, I was now available for Redlands and was pretty excited to do it.
The stage race included an opening time trial in Big Bear Lake at 2060m of altitude, a road race of 195km, a criterium and a last road race of 160km. Put the some of the best teams of the country in the mix for a total of 191 riders and you have some world class road racing !
