Stage 4 was a one-mile, mostly level, highly technical and tight, nine-turn Criterium event in downtown Redlands.
Sunday the 39th Redlands Bicycle Classic concludes with the women’s Sunset Road Race (68.1 miles) at 10 a.m. and the men’s race (91.1 miles) at 2 p.m.
The event began in 1985 and has happened every year since, save for 2020 and ’21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cyclists compete in three road races, a time trial and a criterium. The rider with the lowest cumulative time after five days is the winner.
For those who enjoy having their feet firmly on the ground, there was a 5k run and fun walk at 7 a.m.
Revelers may also enjoy the vendor village, corn hole games, live bands, and refreshments.
