August 29 & 30, 2020

Racers, Welcome to the inaugural River City Cycling Classic (RC3). Our goal as the Inland Empire cycling community is to provide an omnium of exceptional competitiveness and quality that will serve as the capstone of the road racing season here and serve as a segue into the cyclocross season. We believe that a healthy season of road racing should last through the spring, summer, and into the fall months. There is no better time to race than under the sunny blue skies and perfect temperatures offered in abundance here. Also, we believe we have some of the best roads to race on in the entire region, and we want to showcase what we have to offer on this side of the state. The team that is putting this together is rather new. So, this event is serving two purposes. First, to provide the race, and second, to provide our team training on how to organize a race like this. With this newfound knowledge and experience, we hope to provide even more races in 2021 to help strengthen and unify our community. The great news is we’re young (we’re claiming 30s and 40s as youthful, because we can), and we’re not going anywhere for quite some time. RC3 is only the beginning folks. Hold tight while we take the reins and figure out how to drive this wagon train.

Washington State Bicycling Association

CHAMPIONSHIPS RC3 has been selected to host the following regional championships!

Master/Senior road race championships (Liberty Road Race) Master Criterium Championships (Buck Knives Criterium)

Version 2.0 May 15, 2020


General Information The River City Cycling Class is a cycling omnium, including a time trial and road race on Saturday, August 29, and a criterium on Sunday, August 30. Unlike a stage race, racers can compete in events individually with no need to pass one event to qualify for the next. Do one or all three!

The route features 469 feet of elevation gain with a maximum grade of 6.5%. The course is along an active road, with a nice shoulder. The turn-around sits atop a hill featuring older-pavement that should present no challenge to amateur or experienced riders. Liberty Road Race This is a fast course on a 29-mile loop in the rolling farm country of the Palouse. There are a few large rollers with grades of 4-6 percent. There are no steep climbs. Team tactics and the wind often decide the result of this race. The finish line is on top of a gentle climb just west of the start location. Registration and staging is at Liberty High School , near Spangle Wash. Although this race also starts at the Liberty High School, it is a completely different course than Ronde van Palouse: no gravel, less hills, and different direction. Riverbend Criterium Riverbend is the quintessential “industrial park criterium.” The 1-mile loop within the Riverbend Commerce Park in Post Falls, Idaho features wide streets, good pavement, and safe turns. The Start/Finish is at the Buck Knives factory.
