It keeps getting bigger...and better...
On March 13th, Richmond Cycling Corps and GroundForce IT will team up for the fifth straight year to bring you the ride (and after-party) that is guaranteed to cure the winter blues! This will be the officlal last weekend of winter people...let's ride it out together in style!
The BEST part is that this is the easiest and most fun way possible to support RVA's award winning, groundbreaking, Richmond Cycling Corps. Thanks to our INCREDIBLE event sponsors, 100% of your ticket price will support RCC!
This is a great time, and all of it exists to power the nation's premier and most unique inner-city competitive youth cycling program. Ride your bike, enjoy the fellowship, and congratulate yourself on being a part of the coolest (but hopefully not coldest) way to make your city a better place. Richmond Cycling Corps empowers youth to break the cycle of poverty, and by joining us, you will help make that possible.
We need your help raising $15,000 to give youth living in public housing big opportunities. With your help, there's a good chance we can surpass this goal. Tell your friends!
We look forward to riding with you.
