 To
Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the launch of the Triumph TR7
we would like to arrange a relay tour of Britain.
The event would raise money for a designated charity (to be decided)
by asking the participants to collect sponsorship for the miles
that they cover. Triumph TR7.com will also provide facilities
for people to donate based upon the total miles that the 'baton'
covers.
The idea came about following comments about a more 'relaxed'
version of Club
Triumph's wonderful Round Britain Reliability Tour. However
to do a relaxed version would take a couple of weeks and Annual
Leave is precious (and in short supply) to many owners. Therefore
the TriumphTR7.com tour will take the form of a relay.
You can join as many 'legs' as you wish, participating for a
day or many days. The baton will be handed to a new driver as
many times as necessary in order for the baton to cover as many
miles as possible. The tour will include a visit to the Speke
site and maybe to Canley & Solihull. Commercial interest has
been forthcoming which will mean that participants will get a
commemorative 'plaque'.
But we do need your help... the route should avoid all M-ways
and stick to the more 'interesting' roads wherever possible. Not
having an encyclopedic like brain of the UK's roads I would like
YOUR suggestions please!!!
The proposed start date is Saturday June 11th from Speke, although
the 2nd of April does sound nice! The event is scheduled to last
for 9 days, finishing on Fathers day on 19 June 2005 - the destination
yet to be decided. Personally I would like to do some of the Cornwall
leg as that's an area of the country I'm quite fond of!
If you know some good roads, would like to participant or think
it's just a mad idea let me know!! I would say though that if
a few FTO owners can do it then a clan of old wedge's should find
the whole thing a sinch!
Click the link below to register interest, or make some other
comment! Remember we do not have a list of owners, TriumphTR7.com
isn't a club and has no 'membership' - if you are interested you
have to contact us!! And despite commercial interest the wedge
clubs are not involved!
Hey
a Relay Tour that sound great/stupid... how do I get involved?
