Carytown Sunday Morning Ride

Richmond’s classic fast Sunday group ride, previously called CBC Sunday Morning Ride, delivers a demanding 40 mile workout built around two sustained efforts of roughly 15 to 20 minutes each. The format stays the same each week. It begins with a controlled roll out from the city where the group stays together, stops at red lights, and follows traffic laws, with a brief pause on Osborne Turnpike. The first hard segment runs from Osborne to Kingsland for about 20 minutes in a rotating paceline and concludes with a sprint at Kingsland and WRVA Road. After an easy passage through Battlefield Park and a short stop at Charles City Road, the second effort covers Charles City Road for about 15 minutes, again using a rotating paceline, and ends with a sprint just before the railroad crossing at Monahan Road. The ride then returns to the city at an easier pace. This is a full drop ride. Expect around 15 to 20 mph during neutral sections and 25 mph or more during the harder efforts. Riders should have the route saved and be ready to navigate home if separated. The ride is canceled if it is raining.

American Football

American Football brings its intricate, emotionally searching sound to The National alongside IAN SWEET. Their earliest album became a lasting touchstone for listeners well beyond the band’s beginnings, and their expanded catalog carries that legacy forward with a fuller, more confident approach. Bass now deepens the arrangements, and the multi-instrumental work of Mike and Nate Kinsella fuels performances that land every subtle shift with assurance. The set blends breezy shuffles and precise, quick rhythms with sweeping guitar figures built from arpeggios and harmonics, and drum fills that feel measured yet driving. The music maintains a cohesive mood while showcasing vivid details, from the swagger of Born to Lose, to a handclap-centered break and Phil Collins-inspired fills in I’ve Been Lost For So Long, to the 80s pop sheen of Desire Gets in the Way, and a bridge that briefly takes center stage in Instincts are The Enemy. The songs explore the tension between meeting the expectations of adulthood and holding onto honest self-expression, returning to familiar spaces with a more reflective gaze. All ages are welcome. Through a partnership with PLUS1, $1 from each ticket supports organizations that protect immigrant rights and assist deportees, migrants, and refugees.

Even Superheroes Face Addiction - FREE Support Group featuring special guest Yancy Butler

Comic book stories have long acknowledged that even heroes can face addiction, with characters like Iron Man and Red Arrow confronting their own struggles. Building on that honest perspective, actress Yancy Butler, who led the comic-inspired TV series Witchblade during its two-season run on TNT, will share her personal journey with alcoholism, the halt of the show’s production, and the years she spent working toward recovery. Now well into her recovery, she will speak in Richmond, and local resources will be available for those interested in beginning their own path to sobriety. This gathering is presented by Geek Wellness Education, a 501c3 nonprofit that uses the worlds of sci-fi, horror, and superheroes to open conversations about important topics. It is designed as a relaxed, secular support group and will take place in the game room of a retro toy store, with thanks to Toy Lair for providing the space. Parking is available at Toy Lair, in the lots of the neighboring businesses, and on the street behind the stores. Tickets are free and limited to 50 people, and attendees are asked to claim a spot only if they plan to be there.
