Attend NoVa CBG’s Team Casual Smart Ride Fundraiser on Sept. 26

The Northern Virginia Casual Bicycling Group is participating in the Smart Ride (short for Southern Most AIDS/HIV RideTwenty-Thirteen), a two-day tour from Miami to Key West. The Smart Ride donates 100 percent of fundraising to services that work directly for or with individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. NoVa CBG’s team, Team Casual, is hosting a fundraiser next Thursday, Sept. 26 at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern in Herndon, Va. from 7 p.m. onward.
