About the Series
Team Coastal is proud to present a criterium race series held every Thursday night from May through August. The races are centrally located in Richmond and offer great competition for all levels of competitive cyclists.

Wet roads are OK but we don't want our volunteers standing in the rain. Check the link below for current local weather... look for the Richmond area. Lots of color means lots of rain and the Thursday Night Challenge race is probably cancelled.
