SUMMARY:CiCLE Classic
DESCRIPTION:The CiCLE Classic is Britain’s own Belgian classic style race. It has everything – farm tracks\, steep inclines\, competitive racing and a gruelling drive to the line. \nFirst held in 2005 as a national level race within the British Cycling Premier Calendar series at that time\, by 2007 the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic was added to the UCI international calendar as a class 1.2 event. It has remained Britain’s only one day race for elite men within the UCI Europe Tour calendar since that time. \nHaving existed for over 20 years the race is now the longest ever running single day international race in the history of British cycle sport. CiCLE Classic is THE British Classic. \nAimed at breaking the mold of so many British races held over several laps of a single repetitive circuit\, the event was planned as a place to place race emulating the famous Spring classic races of Northern Europe such as the Ronde van Vlaanderen or Paris-Roubaix. \nThe neighbouring and inter-related towns of Oakham in Rutland and Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire continue after 20 years to provide the perfect start and finish venues for the race. \nBeyond the race\, if you want to stay longer and discover our amazing county\, check out our Guide.
