Have you checked the weather for this weekend?

Heat wave over. Bring your arm warmers.

Who wants to see snow again? 👀

Coffee lovers, this one’s for you.

We’re excited to welcome Sorbenots Coffee as a new sponsor of the Baker City Cycling Classic!

Every racer will receive a free Instant Cold Brew Packet at packet pickup, making it easy to enjoy great coffee wherever race weekend takes you.

Then, after Stage 1, stop by the awards and spaghetti feed at the Churchill Art & Music Venue, where Sorbenots will be serving samples of their cold brew in a delicious crema al caffè (think coffee-inspired ice cream) topped with coffee sprinkles.

Be sure to stop by, give it a try, and let the Sorbenots team know what you think. Your feedback will help shape their newest product!

🚲 The Baker City Cycling Classic races into Eastern Oregon June 26-28! The weekend features four stages in three days, ending with an epic road race that ends at the top of Dooley Mountain. 🏔️ The best place to watch, however, is the criterium in downtown Baker City on Saturday afternoon.

What’s the biggest mistake first-time stage racers make?

Stage racing is a different beast. It’s not just about racing fast (which it is). It’s also about recovering, fueling, pacing yourself, and showing up ready to do it all again the next day.

If you’ve raced the Baker City Cycling Classic or any other stage race, share your best tip in the comments.

Your advice might be exactly what a first-time stage racer needs to hear.

You’ve done the intervals.
You’ve done the long rides.
You’ve stared at your power meter, watched the weather, and wondered if one more workout would make the difference.
