Jefferson Cup Road Race

Location Charlottesville, VA
Dates April 1
Overview:

 

The race is hosted by the Monticello Velo Club and is named for Thomas Jefferson, whose home Monticello,  is only a few miles from the race course.

The course has gone through several iterations throughout the years, but the one thing that is almost certain is the cold, windy, damp spring weather.

The weather combined with a constantly rolling course means a rider will need to be strong to survive and take their place as part of the Nature Valley Pro Ride.
