World Rotary Cycling Championships
In 1984 the
Rotary Club of Herentals in Belgium as a fund raising activity organized
the first World Rotary Cycling Championships.
The club
organized the races again in 1985 and 1986 but then decided that the
effort was to much for a single club.
Some
Belgian and 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 organized by the club Torhout-Houtland also
in Belgium.
Since then
the races were organized annually by clubs in the various countries:
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 crystallized into a 4-day event over the ascension day weekend
which was held for the first time in 1991 organized by The Rotary club of
Thionville in France.
This has
also become an annual event which has taken place in:
Cycling is
more relaxed, partners may participate and friendly ties have been formed
over the years between the participants.
