World Championships Richmond

Sorry you won't be able to go. My husband's favorite rider is injured or at least was injured and won't be there. On the other hand, my favorite (Alejandro Valverde) is going to be there. So I'm really excited to see him.

There is an annual criterium series near my home that includes a men's pro race in addition to amateur races, and I went to that one time when some of my favorites from the old CSC team were there. It was definitely fun to see them up close.

I've actually never been to Richmond, despite living in DC and northern VA for 18 years. I only made my first trip to Charlottesville last May and still haven't been to Monticello -- for various reasons I've been more inclined to explore Maryland. But after recently re-watching the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War I am thinking that I really need to visit Richmond and some of the battlefields between there and Fredericksburg. I'm hoping I do some exploring by bike.

Have fun!!

I was a kid when my family had a vacation in Richmond, so this is the first time as an adult I'll be in Richmond. We plan on doing on doing some sightseeing on Saturday and go to the men's RR on Sunday. I hope you do get a chance at some point to explore Richmond.

I will be watching the women's elite and men's elite road races. I will also do the Colonial Fondo on Saturday morning.

I just read that Evie Stevens TT bike got stolen, but it has been recovered.
Phew. That really would suck.

I just heard about that as well. Also glad to hear it has been recovered.
