LE TOUR DE VIS 2022 - Le Tour HYBRID

SATURDAY 22nd OCTOBER | SUNDAY 23rd OCTOBER - OKLAHOMA CITY or Wherever

This year you can ride anywhere.

Le Tour de VIS is Le Tour de VIS Hybrid.

OKLAHOMA CITY - 22nd OCTOBER

Evolving plan Oklahoma City ride on Saturday

• Rental : Phat Tire Bike Shop - kevin_k@phattirebikeshop.com

• Route : something along the lines of the outer loop (including around the lakes).

• Time : Working on this - currently thinking about picking up the bikes on Friday and returning on Saturday.

Jim Ahrens has a car and can drive from the hotel to the bike shop.

Maybe a Friday ride on #8 on the map to get the bikes back to the hotel?

Contact: Please contact ahrens@lanl.gov if you are interested in going with …

• bike type required

• some notion of bike size or your height

• pedals required - the store will replace pedals if you bring them

NOT OKLAHOMA

If you ride elsewhere, just go for it. Ride as far as you can and log the ride on Strava with a description. Take and post photos.

Wear your VIS colours if you have them.
We have a jersey that should inspire you to ride strong!

Looking forward to it.

Be sure to get some miles in your legs before VIS in October: use #LeTourDeVIS as a challenge and an excuse to get away from the computer, keeping fit on your bike.

The Vélo Club de VIS is a lightweight (dis)organization that aims to encourage IEEE VIS participants to ride together following the conference each year.

After a few enjoyable bike rides with VIS colleagues over the years we marked IEEE VIS’ own Tour de France in 2014 by establishing an open and informal road cycling club as a post-VIS tradition. We use Strava to log rides and enjoy each other’s achievements throughout the year - here's the Strava Club - please join.

Bonded by our simple Terms of Reference and love of the saddle, we have cycled round the Château de Versailles, under the Tour Eiffel, along (and in a couple of cases almost into) Lake Michigan, through the fall leaves in Maryland, across the Arizona desert, from Berlin to Potsdam (almost) and around beautiful Vancouver. We have shivered, soaked, fixed flats, quaffed coffee, got lost, got found, got lost again, slugged red wine, gawped at cacti and powered through raging rain and wind together. Memories are logged with the #LeTourDeVIS tag. And we force ourselves into colourful tight jerseys.

Feel like a ride? Then read on and get some miles in before the end of October. Log your activity on Strava.

The whole idea is to encourage you to stay physically and mentally fit by cycling throughout the year - so ride carefully ...
