Yes, time flies when you are enjoying yourself... three years have passed, and it's Tri-Vets time again.
Simon has booked the hall, I've been fiddling with routes, Liz and Maggie have agreed to do the catering, so there's only the weather to arrange, now.
Date for your diary: first start 0800 19th June, Brockham Cricket Pavilion.
Old hands will know the score, for new members the 'Tri-Vets' is a CTC competition for the more experienced rider, run every three years since 1928. A 'Vet' is a person over 50; the distance is 100 miles, which need to be completed within twelve hours. If you succeed, you can purchase a badge, or a bar for your badge, if you've already got one.
The Wayfarers have slightly extended the concept; we do the CTC 100 mile ride, but we add on a 100km ride for those who just fancy a day out and a 50km ride for those who just want a Wednesday ride. So there's something for everyone - even for those who just want to sit outside the pavilion in the sun.
Much more detail to come, this is just a warning order. But, brace yourselves, Tri-Vets is coming, to a cricket pavilion near you.
Mark & Simon
