Is your group involved in this year's CTC Tri-vets 2016?

If there is anyone in the club over 50 you may be interested in this invitation which has been circulated to DA secretaries by Mark Slater and Julie Rand at CTC.


Dear  Secretaries,

I am writing to you as we are now pulling together the calendar for the 2016 Tri-Vets event. This is a fun challenge which CTC groups have taken part in since 1928, our Golden Jubilee year and encourage those aged 50 and over to have a go at riding 100 miles within a 12-hour time limit.

The rides are also a great sociable occasion, with many groups choosing to include a sit-down lunch stop and refreshments along the way.  For members, it's a chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones and discover new routes to ride.  

Some groups also opt to put on a 100 km ride the same day as the 100 miler to encourage a more diverse range of participants and many will plan a figure-of-eight route with the start and finish points at the same location so riders are never too far from base.

Tri-Vets rides normally take place from 1 June between 10 July, so all rides must take place during this time frame.

If you would like to submit a ride into this year’s Tri-Vets calendar, please complete our online event registration form.  It is easy to use and we will help publicise your ride for you.

There is also a full range of resources available for ride organisers online to make sure you have all the support you need to make your event a success.

We hope that you will consider supporting the challenge with a Tri-Vets event this year and hope to hear back from you shortly, so that people may start to register for their rides.

Kind regards,
Mark Slater & Julie Rand
Tri-Vet Coordinators
