Such a memory -- I'm in Richmond, and the ride is the Powhatan Tour
de Vin, in conjunction with their wine festival:

I'm thinking of the Blue Ridge Extreme as well, though only the
metric (100Km, 62mi) because 8000+ft of climbing just scares me lol
(http://www.blueridgeextreme.com/).

Cycling has officially replaced hockey, though I still strap the
skates on once a week. I'm riding 80-120mi/week, and loving every
minute of it :)

Are you (still) 'round these parts?
