Vets Cycling Club |
The
Grampians Veteran Cycling Club is
based in the Central Western part of Victoria, Australia,
around the famous Grampians Ranges. The club was formed
in 1996 to cater for the needs of older riders, who
up until then had to
travel long distances to find specific
veteran events, or ride against much younger riders.
