About Us
Racing, touring or social activities are organised in all parts of the country throughout the year and there is also a weekend in France.
Nationally the Association is organised and run by an Executive Committee comprising the National Officers, the Regional Secretaries and a number of independent members. The organisation of the Association is defined in the Handbook which available on-line. A printed copy is provided to Members as part of their Membership Subscription.
Members elect to join one of the Regions of the Association. Each Region has a Secretary and a Captain, together with a small committee to look after a social and racing programme for its members and is affiliated to the Road Time Trials Council.
Social events are organised all year round and many are organised with both social and racing activities taking place over one weekend.
Starting with the National Dinner and prizegiving - this is a really good social occasion with a chance to meet up with friends. It is followed on the Sunday morning by the National AGM. During the following winter months Regional Luncheons and prizegivings are held in most areas of the country. In March the North West region hosts a weekend in Carlisle originally arranged to get tricyclists from both sides of the border for a social weekend. This is now known as the 'blathering gathering'.
The summer months are very hectic with activities most weekends taking place all over the country. Apart from our own organised weekends tricyclists camp in a group on 'Barrow Lane' at York and Mildenhall rallies.
Regional racing programmes contain events at 10 miles and 25 miles and some also run 50 miles, 100 miles and 12 hour events. Social runs are often held in conjunction with these events.
Tricycle Association Medals are awarded to the winning competitors and, in some events, historic and interesting trophies.
