Training Rides
Tour de Cure have regular training rides in most of the capital cities*
For an up-to-date status on all training rides follow us on Twitter @tdctrngrides
*Training ride routes are promoted by Tour de Cure team members, whom are all volunteers, to communicate to fellow team members where their rides will be happening for the coming weeks. Tour de Cure do not manage these training rides, the route or participants and all participants in them waive Tour de Cure from any responsibilities of the training ride. Cycling on public roads is a potentially dangerous activity which carries risks. Anyone cycling on these training rides acknowledges this and is aware that cycling is a physically demanding activity which requires a high level of fitness, food preparation, correct equipment and safety.
Tour de Cure have developed a Bunch Rider Rules and Etiquette document. Please download here.
