Red Zinger Mini Classics (RZMC) is a series of youth boys and girls road bicycle races held annually across the state of Colorado from 1981 to 1992, and revived again in 2010.

Later young Erik and Quinn were joined by other youth race directors, Mike Hooker and Ron Schwartztrauber.

The series grew to add several smaller 3-day stage races across the state of Colorado and also northern New Mexico.

The two-day stage race was the first event to recreate the Mini Classic junior cycling program and was based in Silt, Colorado.
