The Belgian Waffle Ride Series are produced by Monuments of Cycling, purveyor of classic one day bicycle races in the United States.  The idea of the Monuments of Cycling in the US was conceived initially with the advent of “the most unique cycling event in the country,” the Belgian Waffle Ride California (San Diego).  BWR California is well known among cycling enthusiast and pro's as one of the most difficult bicycle races in the US at 146 miles, 40 of which are off-road sectors. What makes the BWR series events so unique is that they are classic, long bicycle races that feature various off-road sectors emulating the pave or cobblestones of Europe; making the varied terrain a challenge for riders’ technical skills, equipment, endurance, luck and versatility. While intentionally none of the events feature mountains, they do utilize a never-ending collection of punchy climbs that take a sinister toll on riders’ physical and mental well-being… These are not races set up for freeloading sprinters or for frail climbers. They are designed to challenge riders of all stripes and sizes in demented and glorious ways. Therein lies the allure of the BWR Series; extreme challenges that require months or years of training, the right equipment, tenacity and karma.
