The East Midlands International CiCLE Classic is a road bicycle race that starts in Oakham and finishes in Melton Mowbray. The 2008 version was 158 km long.

The race is characterised by its off-road sections and short, sharp climbs on narrow and treacherous farm tracks - taking its inspiration from the Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen. Originally part of the British Premier Calendar, from 2008 it is a 1.2 event on the UCI Europe Tour.
