The Nevada City Classic (previously: Tour of Nevada City; Father's Day Bicycle Classic), was a one-day road cycling race [1] held in Nevada City, California. Established in 1960, the Nevada City Classic commonly occurs on Father's Day and brought thousands of visitors to Nevada County. [2] While the first race brought out approximately 1,500 spectators, [3] the numbers have swelled to 15,000 spectators in recent years. [4] Sponsored by the Nevada City Chamber of commerce, the schedule included Women's, Junior's, and Master's races, in addition to the Men's main event. Past winners include Greg LeMond.

Course

The 90-minute race included 40 laps on a twisting, hilly 1.1 mi (1.8 km) circuit [5] with over 300 feet of climbing. [6] The course, basically unchanged since its advent, was considered by experts to be the toughest one-mile criterium in the United States. [3]

History

Established in 1960, the Nevada City Classic was the largest and oldest bicycle race on the West Coast, as well as the second-oldest bicycle race in the country. [6] [7] It was initiated by Charlie Allert, a native of Dresden, Germany, who had been a bicycle racer and master lithographer before arriving in Nevada City by way of San Francisco. [3] With a course laid out by Allert, the first race was held on Father's Day 1961.

The 1961 and 1962 races were won by Bob Tetzlaff, a Los Gatos school teacher. Starting in 1963 when he was 18 years old, Bob Parsons from Pasadena won the race the next five years. John Howard won in 1970. [8] Greg LeMond was the winner for the three consecutive years of 1979-81 and he was subsequently honored when the Nevada City City Council proclaimed August 11, 1986 as "Greg LeMond Day". [3] Todd Gogulski (1986, 1988), Scott Moninger (1994, 1997, 1999, 2006), Alexi Grewal (1993), and Levi Leipheimer (1998) also took the top spot. [8] Having participated in the race 19 years earlier, [1] Lance Armstrong returned in 2009, and won using illegal drugs and methods, and has been disqualified with the result voided [9] It was hailed at the time as the first victory of his comeback as it preceded his return to the Tour de France. [10] Ian Boswell was the winner in 2010. [5]

In 1997, the race was designated a National Classic Pro Points Race, [11] and thirteen years later, in 2010, its course became the starting point of the Stage 1 of the Tour of California. [12]

The race was cancelled in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic and never resumed because of declining attendance in years prior. [13]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Greg LeMond anti-doping stance and controversies</span>

Greg LeMond competed at a time when performance enhancing drugs were just beginning to impact his sport. Rumors of improprieties existed, including USA Cycling's blood doping at the 1984 LA Olympics and Francesco Moser's same measures prior to his 1984 assault on the hour record, but legalities were not sharply demarcated and the practice was not spoken of in the open. Considered one of the most talented cyclists of his generation, from his earliest days of professional cycling LeMond was strongly against taking performance enhancing drugs, largely on the basis of the health risks such practices posed. His career lacks the suspicious results that have tarnished his successors. His willingness to speak out against doping and those prominent individuals involved inadvertently linked him with the sport’s doping scandal controversies. In his opposition to fraud, corruption and what he saw as complicity on the part of cycling officials, LeMond became a lightning rod with the sports most prominent personalities.
