Richmond 2015

09/19/2016

One year ago we welcomed the world to RVA as we hosted the UCI Road World Championships. As we look towards the future, we should take one last look back at a historic week for our magnificent city. Please share your fondest memories and pictures of Richmond 2015 throughout the week as we celebrate the success of the event and what it has meant for Richmond and Virginia.

"We dreamed big, and that the Richmond community — businesses, universities, churches, schools, and of course, our residents — enabled that dream to come true, we are thankful.

We know the impact of welcoming the world will do the same."

"Worlds were a resounding success. Visitors and athletes raved about how well organized the nine-day championships were, how friendly Richmonders are, and how neat RVA is... For improving quality of life in the city and region; for introducing to the Richmond vernacular the word ‘peloton’; and for persuading us, even if for only one weekend, that spandex is the coolest thing since Hardywood’s Gingerbread Stout, we name cycling our inaugural Richmonder of the Year."
