Are you going to give us all a place to sleep when we come up for it?

You bet!! Got plenty of room....for campers and tents in the yard one spare bedroom and someone has half heartedly asked for it already. I really don't understand why they choose Richmond but I'm sure good with it!

I'll open my home too...additionally I have three grown kids with their own places living in town with room on the floor! They are used to spandex clad middle-aged folks.

Wonder what the route will be, I do alot of riding on the outskirts of the city.

"oh boy, this is so great!"

Agreed! I bet Taylor Phinney and some of the other US youngsters will be destroying it by then.

Well are there enough hills there so fat guys in spandex can run along side the riders getting in the way and making a fool out of themselves for it to be a proper bike race???

A little update

Governor Robert F. McDonnell and Senator Mark R. Warner Named Co-Chairs of Richmond 2015 Board of Directors


Will politics ruin this event or will their involvement help encourage it in the public eye and help bring more light to the event?

You called it Xela, Phinney could well be at the top of this event

I guess I missed this thread when it initially came around. I see a east coast TS gathering in our future.
