Riverside Citrus Classic – Rider Information
Thank you for registering for the Riverside Citrus Classic! Your participation helps fund enriching educational programs for more than 43,000 students in the Riverside Unified School District.
Course Details
This fun and scenic ride offers multiple route options to suit all experience levels, including 7-mile, 30-mile, Half-Century (50-mile), and Century (100-mile) courses.
All rides begin at the Riverside Plaza and feature a mix of bike paths, dedicated trails, and scenic roadways throughout the Riverside area. Every route showcases the beautiful citrus belt, while the longer distances extend onto the Santa Ana River Trail and into more challenging, hilly terrain through Riverside, Redlands, Yucaipa, and Lake Perris.
Rest stops will be available along each route and are fully stocked with refreshments. Many are staffed by students and organizations that have directly benefited from grants funded by this event.
