Get Ready For Bike Races Tomorrow

From the Times Dispatch:

About 24 hours remain before the time trials for the CapTech USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships begin, and a push is underway to make sure residents are aware of the major traffic disruption coming their way.
The three-day championships, which begin Friday, will close dozens of streets in Richmond and force drivers onto different routes.
To help alleviate some potential headaches, organizers will announce this morning that the start of Friday’s time trials has been pushed back 15 minutes to 9:15 a.m. The first day should finish about 4:30 p.m.

I have reported this before, but here is the link again for a pdf list of routes and road closures.

From RVANews.com:

Friday’s course stretches from Boulevard and W. Broad Street, to Oregon Hill and the Southside via the Lee Bridge, to downtown and parts of Church Hill.

Towing will begin at 3:00 AM on Friday and run until 7:00 PM along the course route. So make sure you move your car Thursday night.

Traffic Impact Briefing for Collegiate Races May 2-4

From Councilperson Parker Agelasto:

Dear all,

I am passing along information about the 2014 USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championship occurring May 2 – 4. There will be road closings affecting the northeastern portion of the 5th District. Please note that the provisions that have been recommended to accommodate for ingress and egress from neighborhoods. Oregon Hill will be most affected and will gain access by the temporary conversion of 2nd Street to two-way.

Please feel free to distribute this information to your civic association members as I am certain they will want to know.

Many thanks,
Parker C. Agelasto
Richmond City Council, 5th District

Volunteers Needed For the 2014 USA Cycling Collegiate National Championships

I have mentioned this before, and now there is this plea:

In just a few weeks from now, we will be hosting the 2014 USA Cycling Collegiate National Championships in downtown Richmond. The event will feature 400 student athletes from more than 100 colleges and universities from across the country. It is also serving as the official test event for the 2015 UCI Road World Championships.

We are seeking committed individuals to serve as course marshals on Friday, May 2nd, Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th, 2014. The course marshal role is considered to be the “best seat in the house” as they assist race organizers with crowd control and traffic safety as the racers speed by.

Each volunteer will receive a t-shirt to commemorate the event, food and beverage during their shift and a 15% discount code to use on Richmond 2015 merchandise. In addition, if you volunteer for 2014, Richmond 2015 will provide you with your first choice of volunteer role for the 2015 World Championships when the best men and women cyclists, from all over the world, race through the streets of the Richmond region.

See the attached flier for more information, or to register visit our volunteer site at www.richmond2015.com/volunteer. If you have questions, send them to volunteer@richmond2015.com or call 804-788-5820. Please consider volunteering and please forward to friends, family and co-workers that may be interested.
