This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Nevada City Cycling Classic. This race is reported to be the second oldest continuously running bicycle race in the country.

The Nevada City Classic will be held on the weekend of September 5-6, 2020. We look forward to the first ever September rescheduled Classic bike race.

In spite of recent events, the Nevada City Classic team is starting the process of planning this year’s event to take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 5-6. They recognize that events that lay ahead remain unknown. They are committed to complying with all mandates for health and safety. Because it takes months to plan the event, the team is planning the annual schedule, just in case.

The course is back to the original design by event founder Charlie Allert in 1961, this was done for the race in 2018 and continues to be a popular route.
