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.

We had a great time. We did get to Richmond early enough on Friday to watch the U23 race. Then watched the men's race on Sunday. Found a spot between Broad and Grace on Belvidere where we got to see them go by twice per lap. My husband took about 2,000 pictures total for the weekend, most during the men's race on Sunday. We only started to go through the pictures and we did get some really good ones. Thought I'd share one here for everyone to enjoy.
