2021 Victoria Hub & Spoke
registration opens 1 March 2021 5:00 pm
The Victoria Chapter is organizing two Hub & Spokes for July 2021. Please go to the CCCTS website to view the information. The events will take place from July 19 to 23, 2021 and from July 26 to 30, 2021. We are focusing on members who DO NOT live in the Greater Victoria area. Space is limited to 16 riders per Hub & Spoke. The lottery is open from March 1 to 31, 2021. Should we not fill the spots by March 31st, we will open the Hub & Spoke for local members.
There are only 16 spots for each week. We will use local ride leaders from the Victoria area. The sweeps will be riders from the individual groups.
We are hoping to use the University of Victoria’s dormitories for accommodations. However, if this doesn’t work, we will go to Plan “B” meaning motels.
Please contact Donna Kerkhoven at dkerkhoven22@gmail.com or at 250-858-2779, if needed.

Will YOU consider leading a new 16-person Hub & Spoke Ride later this year?

One day the border will be open again and when it is, Seattle to Missoula would be a great camping tour.
