The 2011 Tour de France is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in years. Enjoy that excitement with fellow cyclists in Richmond at a finale celebration and ride this Sunday, July 24, at Home Team Grill in the Fan district (1630 W. Main Street).

We’ll gather at 9am to watch the final stage, and the sprint down the Champs Elysees. Then we’ll head out on victory ride of our own.

We’ll ride eastward, toward Varina, with two options: 45 miles at A and B pace, and 20 miles at C pace.

This event is hosted jointly by the Virginia Bicycling Federation and Richmond 2015, who are behind the effort to bring the World Road Cycling Championships to Richmond.

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still help Richmond 2015 by signing the pledge, and buying (and wearing) their T-shirt — which will also be available at the event.
