Recreational Racing in Northern Virginia

[OctoberSky]

I am just now getting into cycling as a sport, and I have thought it would be helpful to sign up for a race next year to have something to work towards. I haven't had any luck finding road races in the northern Virginia area.

Do any of you NoVA riders know of popular events or web sites I should look in to?

Are you looking for real races, or for courier/alleycat/routed street races? If the second, definitely check out the NACCC, which is in Richmond in May.
