World Rotary Cycling Championships
In 1984 the Rotary Club of Herentals in Belgium as a fund
raising activity organised the first World Rotary Cycling
Championships.
The club organised the races again in 1985 and 1986 but then
decided that the effort was to much for a single club.
Some Belgian an Dutch participants to the races got together in
1988 and decided to establish a Rotary Fellowship.
The International Fellowship Cycling to Serve was ratified in
that year by Evanston. The races were now organised by the club
Torhout-Houtland also in Belgium.
Since then the races were organised annually by clubs in the
various countries:
Belgium
Germany
Switzerland
France
England
Italy
The Netherlands
Entrance fees to the races are distributed as price money to the
winners to be donated to the Community Service of their clubs.
Touring activities
Touring activities crystallised into a 4-day event over the
ascension day weekend which was held for the first time in 1991
organised by The Rotary club of Thionville in France.
This has also become an annual event which has taken place in:
France
England
Germany
The Netherlands
Turkey
Majorca
Cycling is more relaxed, partners may participate and friendly
ties have been formed over the years between the participants.
