Team Nature’s Path was founded in 2006 by a group of local bicycle enthusiasts who had a passion to share their love of cycling, racing and active lifestyles. Our members are active at all levels of cycling, have a wide range of professional backgrounds and maintain strong ties to the Richmond Virginia Community. In 2007 we grew to over 100 members who share a common vision ››› To Promote Bicycle Racing in Central Virginia and to Provide an Open Environment in Which to Learn About Bicycle Racing and Improve Performance.
Team Nature’s Path / 3Sports is a recognized club of the United States Cycling Federation (USCF), an association of the national governing body for competitive cycling, USA Cycling. Many members are current or former racers of varying disciplines (road, track, mountain bike, triathlon) and categorization. Our strong, supportive racing program has produced many race victories, but more importantly a place for members to enjoy cycling and improve their health and fitness.
