By WTOP Staff

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Some top American cyclists are coming to Richmond for a training camp.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (bit.ly/11KPMc2) the two-day training camp will be held on Wednesday and Thursday.

The camp will help the cyclists familiarize themselves with the city and the race courses ahead of next year’s UCI Road World Championships. The nine-day event will be in Richmond next September and organizers expect it to bring nearly half a million people to Richmond and attract a global television audience of more than 300 million.

Worlds, as the championships are known, have not been in the United States since 1986.

The training camp will include strategy sessions and team meetings as well as rides on portions of the courses.
