About this event

The frost is melting, the days are getting longer, and it’s time to trade the trainer for the open road. As we wrap up our Winter Zwifting sessions and gear up for that final FTP Test, it’s time to take that hard-earned fitness outside.

The Major Taylor Cycling Club of Virginia is officially kicking off the March season in Richmond on the Capital Trail. This year, we aren't just riding for miles; we’re riding for Fun and Fellowship, with a renewed focus on connecting with our brother and sister Major Taylor Clubs across the region.

?? The Season Opener

We are launching the season in one of RVA's most iconic cycling spots:

Location: Capital Trail (RVA) Smooth & Scenic, Flat, fast pavement stretching from Richmond toward Williamsburg. Perfect for finding your rhythm.
?? Transitioning from Virtual to Reality

The Final Push: Finish your indoor season strong! The upcoming FTP Test is your benchmark to see how much power you’re bringing into the 2026 season.

The New Focus: This year is all about the "Three F's"—Fun, Fellowship, and Frequency. We are looking to expand our reach and share the road with other MT clubs. Let’s show the community what Major Taylor unity looks like.

??? Get Ready

1. Check Your Gear: It’s time for a tune-up. Check your tires, brakes, and drivetrain.
2. Charge Your Tech: Ensure your head units and lights are ready for the road.
3. Stuff Your Pockets: Have your hydration and nutrition ready. Keep your body fueled for the days ride.

March is here. Let’s ride, Virginia!

Would you like me to create a social media caption or a flyer image to go along with this announcement?

Whether you're looking for a casual spin or a way to test your early-season climbing legs, this is the perfect chance to stretch out.
