BEND — The Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic will once again be part of the Women’s Prestige Cycling Series, which features four national-caliber stage races that promise to showcase the country’s top female cycling talent.

The four events take place in four different states, beginning in March and running through July:

* March 25-28 – Redlands Bicycle Classic (California)
* April 28-May 2 – SRAM Tour of the Gila (New Mexico)
* June 16-20 – Nature Valley Grand Prix (Minnesota)
* July 20-25 – Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic (Oregon)

This is the second year that the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic has been a part of the series. The Nature Valley Grand Prix has been in every Women’s Prestige Cycling Series, and the Redlands Classic is in the line-up for the sixth time in seven years. New to the calendar is the SRAM Tour of the Gila, which replaces the Joe Martin Stage Race.
