The attached link to the Cycling Virginia site lists numerous events of all types throughout VA.  Rather than duplicating the work they have done on their site, the link is attached for your use instead.  We will continue to separately list events that are not on the Cycling Virginia site, that have been or may be of interest to our membership, particularly PBA and RABA events, as well as out-of-state events.  We welcome your feedback on both sites.
