Lombard – fun, technical, and almost new (well, since 2019)…

Bike racing has happened in Lombard, on and off, since 2001 — and this new iteration uses part of that original course to offer an exciting criterium that features both a narrow and technical back side and a wide-open sprint finish stretch.

In addition to an incredible race, Lombard will be hosting a Family Fun Ride, and raffling a bike to benefit Variety of Illinois. To learn more about the Lombard Cycling Classic (and what to do in Lombard besides racing your bike) click here.
