LALBLA Classic
The scene
The Speed Project, an invitation-only relay from Santa Monica to Las Vegas first run in 2013, starts in Los Angeles. Trash Panda Cycling runs a calendar of street-style bike races: Trinity of Track for fixed gears each May, the Nightmare Gauntlet omnium in September and the LALBLA Classic to Long Beach and back in November. Downtown courier crew ULOCK MOB, started in 1999, ran a Friday-night summer crit series in 2026 that may have been its last, and Wolfpack Hustle, whose pre-dawn crash race on the LA Marathon course ran until the city stopped it in 2014, now holds group rides and advocacy only.

How races get in here
The directory is curated by ALLEYKAT. Races timed on the app appear in their city on their own once they have a date or have been run, and everything else is added by hand after we have checked it against the organiser’s own page. There is no form and no fee.
