The Philadelphia Cycling Classic was an elite women's professional one-day road bicycle race held in the United States,[2] between 2013 and 2016. The race was established as a successor to the Liberty Classic, which was last held in 2012.[1]
In 2015, the event became part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup, and was included in the inaugural UCI Women's World Tour the year after, but was discontinued after its fourth running.[3]

Philly was the last great one-day race in the USA until its final edition in 2016 but maybe, one day, the streets of Manayunk will echo with the cheers of cycling fans once again.
