On Sunday, the spring classics came to Southern California at the 2019 Belgian Waffle Ride. Do not let the name deceive you though, the 2019 BWR was very much a race, with professionals and even WorldTour riders taking the line for the unique event.
Based at Lost Abbey Brewing in San Marcos, the Belgian Waffle Ride is a challenging event, packing over 12,000 feet of climbing into 133 or so miles. The race also offers the Wafer, which checks in at 6,500 feet and 74 miles.
