One of the well-known cycling events is the Nevada City Classic; it's one of the oldest bicycle race in California and the largest on the Western Seaboard. Bike riders will deluge the quaint town of Nevada City in June on the 21st of 2009, for the annual Nevada City Classic Father's bike run, in the stunning foothills of the gold country.
The Tour of Nevada City is a big event in Nevada City. On the day of the race, the city's population of 3001 swells by several thousand spectators, who line the course in front of old vintage Victorian homes as they cheer the cyclists while they negotiate a fast, hilly and technical course. The streets of the historic district are draped with flags and bunting giving you a feel that the Nevada City Classic is a race for the strong as they maneuver their way up the steep hills.
Racers have often said there is nowhere on the cycling tour that draws the crowds and levels of enthusiasm they see at the Nevada City Bicycle Classic.
