The USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships will be held in Richmond, May 2-4, 2014. Approximately 400 athletes from 100 universities will compete in a time-trial course in downtown Richmond that passes the Library's front door on Friday, May 2; on a shorter criterion course just to west of the Library on Saturday, May 3; and on a road course that will also pass the Library on Sunday, May 4. Organizers hope that the event will draw a crowd of about 10,000, people based on the number of competitors and schools involved in the race.

The largest impact on the Library will be the closing of Broad, 8th, and 9th streets on Friday, May 2. Access to the parking deck will be difficult that day. Traffic will also be a problem on Saturday, May 3, due to closed streets to the west of the Library, but 8th and 9th streets should be open.

Details on the event, including course maps, can be viewed at www.usacycling.org/2014/collegiate-road-nationals<http://www.usacycling.org/2014/collegiate-road-nationals>.
