    This page is great, however what would be even more awesome would be to have a master list of UCI: what this means for me…based on where I live/work Ex. Near West End: life as usual except for Sunday the 27 around UR…Churchill: you’re never leaving home…but if you do, don’t take Broad Street…Southside: life as usual except for..
    I don’t have time or the ability to comprehend the published race schedule and map and it would nice to have shorthand list of what’s happening when and what areas those of us that tend to travel around town should avoid next week.

    Thanks for running a great webpage!

    By the way, you guys are awesome!

    did you look at http://navigate.richmond2015.com/navigate? Day by day guides to impact.

    YES to everything Annie said.

    I have stared at the published race schedule and get more confused each time.

    Don’t forget Scott’s Addition =)

    Oh and y’all always rock.

    @Annie and @Frazier: Thank you! And that’s a great idea—we’re doing something a little different. Each day of the race, we’ll do a morning rundown of what to expect that day. We mostly pull it from the site that Chase references in the comment between your comments. I think the map does a pretty good job! No??

    I knew Orchard House School was cool, but the fact that they can close their school backwards is AMAZING!
