The Richmond Police Athletic League (PAL), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youth of Urban Richmond will be holding a unique fundraiser, “Pedal to the Metal”, a chip timed 25 & 50 mile cycling event utilizing the racetrack of Richmond International Raceway on May 26. The event begins at 7:00 a.m. and will be followed by a community ride where citizens of the community and families will be able to ride on the track for a nominal fee.
Early registration ends March 1.
Though not exactly a velodrome, riding the steeply banked turns of RIR should be quite a thrill for all the budding racers in the community.
Event details and registration information can be found here.
