This news from the Dieppe Raid Facebook page:
Greetings cyclists,Here is an important announcement.
The organisers of Tour des Trois Vallees, Club de Cyclotourisme Dieppoise (CDCD), have decided to move next year’s event to Sunday, 20 September, no longer on the last weekend of June when it has traditionally been held. They have made this decision due to conflicts with other cycling events in the region. They have also decided to reduce the number of routes from 4 to 3, eliminating the 140 km route. This is due to their club’s limited resources to be able to mark out and manage this route.
This will no doubt be unwelcome news to those of you who have been longtime participants in TTV as a mid-summer fixture. However, it is the reality that organising these events requires a very significant effort which a small club like CDCD can no longer handle.
September is a long way off but it would be useful to have your feedback on this change and whether you would be interested in taking part on the new date.
If you have any comments, please post them directly on the Dieppe Raid Facebook page.
Thanks for posting this Simon. The date change maybe not such bad news as June is a busy time in the Club calendar. Pity about dropping the 140k ride, but we don't need marked out routes nowadays and there is no reason why those that want a longer ride can't do one.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably delay booking viz June to be more certain as to the likely weather; on the plus side I doubt anyone will need their Factor 50. If I participate I would welcome their being an ad-hoc 140K option.
