Welcome to the most unique cycling event in the country, the Cervélo Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR), now in its sixth year of irreverence. This year’s edition of the Spring Classic will be held May 21, 2017, and will proffer the same type of insanity, challenge and the unparalleled experience that the event has become infamous for—only with more pain and suffering this time around.
Not only does the event attract world-class cyclists from all over, the BWR has a cult following of fervent racers from cyclo-cross, road and mountain biking. The event attracts racers from all over and has become known as much for its difficulty as a One Day Spring Classic—with all the glorious accouterments of the Old World events—as it has for the celebratory atmosphere that pervades the event’s every funky facet.
The 2017 will have a deeper field of pros than ever before because the date has been moved to accommodate continental pro teams who are doing Redlands two weeks before, as well as Tour of California riders, who will be in town.
