He’s coming off stage victories in Vuelta a Espana and is finishing his first season with two Grand Tours. King, of Richmond, has also participated in the Tour de France and currently lives in Italy. So, this is your prime opportunity to hear him speak.

King notes completing his first Tour de France in 2014 and winning the 2010 USA Pro Championships as his biggest accomplishments.

He’ll share these experiences and take questions.

Ben King’s talk is Thursday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. at Carilion Riverside 1 in the 4th-floor conference room. The event is free, and you don’t have to RSVP; just show up to hear a pro cyclist talk about life on a bike.
