Ever heard of a C&V tour being organized?

I've seen some day rides posted but wondered if anyone knows of any weekend of week long tours that cater to C&V bike owners? I've chatted with some folks on a Miyata/Specialized touring group and it occured to me it would be fun to spend a few days somewhere on a ride and see some of the classic touring bikes that are still around. My interests are more in the sport and touring category but all vintage bikes would be a great addition to such an event.

Just a thought......... also I posted some pics of my built up '83 Specialized Expedition on that site if anyone has an interest.

I will be to busy for the near future.( preparing my home for sale & then building a new home in Oregon) Thanks for the link, I joined the group today & will post some pics of my 1984 Specialized Expedition. Don't know how I missed the Expedition thread in Bike Forums way back but yours looks great. Don

This won't help you much in Wisconsin, but it fits.
There are other postings on the Classicrendezvous mailing list.

Try this website https://www.classicrendezvous.com/Cirque.htm. There is a mailing list associated with members all over the USA. There are many locations that have classic bike rides on a quarterly or monthly basis. Get on the Mailing list and check your area. I live in Boulder,CO. There is an active group here that ride together often. Hope this helps.
