I am going to visit my brother and mom in a couple of weeks in Richmond. Are there any training rides or running groups I can hook up with from Thursday to Monday? I am also going to be scouting out the Duathlon course…any insight would be appreciated.
Not from Richmond but went there with some frinds to ride several weeks ago to get out of the northeast cold. This web site was given to me by a friend who lives there… www.raba.org We did not hook up with these folks but stayed in Chester and rode out to Williamsburg / Jamestown. Nice ride. Once you get out of the city there seemed to be a lot of good riding. Speed limits on the roads that we were on seemed to be on the higher side, but they were nice country roads.
What tri clubs group rides or runs are available…anyone? thx.
Drop me an e-mail with dates you will be in town. There are a couple of Sunday afternoon rides available. Depending upon when you are here, we may be doing a ride/run on the Nationals course if you want to come along.

There are several options I can point you to. A local shop, Contes, has a ride that leaves from just behind their store on Broad Street 9:30 every Saturday. It is fairly fast 50 miler. Averages about 25 or so, 99% roadys, pacelines and some sprints. I have been alternating that with doing some laps on the Du Nationals course. Also, the facility I coach is now leading a group ride of various distances 30-80 miles of a triathlete/roady mix on Saturday mornings at 8am. There are multiple groups going 15,17,19-20 and 20+mph. You will always find me at one of these 3. If you are interested drop me a pm and I can give you the details on anyone of these options or others.
