IS there a tentative date for this?

No announcements yet but expect something different this year. Like a race on RGT to make things ‘interesting’.

A ToS in RGT? oooooh…I don’t know about that one. I get a little…competitive.

:grimacing: :joy:

Of course, that raises the interesting possibility of magic roads done on the actual Sufferfest routes, synced w the videos…a virtual Sufferlandria? :thinking:

That would be quite interesting. Maybe somewhere new…

Competitive … nah. Hard to believe anyone on here would be competitive. :grin:

Never. Oooh! There’s the City Limit sign (sets for and does a sprint to the sign dropping all the Couchlandrians).

Dude, why are you riding with Couchlandrians?

I seriously hope not. RGT is so finicky to get going currently for me. If it was as easy as Zwift to plug and play, maybe a virtual TOS would be fine.

expect to hear an anouncement around January(maybe even a bit sooner to allow for fund raising) with ToS occuring around mid Feb.

Ideas for 2023 TOS include Women’s Tour (There is sufficient footage of Women’s racing now), or a week of Pro-Rides (which sounds horrific fun).

please let it still be the Tour of SUFFERLANDRIA, not the tour of pro rides, or the tour of a week with or whatever else :pray:

Week of pro rides would need to be something else entirely…

I can only assume the minions would add a “150km transfer before the stage start but the bus broke down, start riding” twist to the ToS.

I think there is room for both a Tour of Suf and also a Tour of RGT at another date later in the year (maybe November). I could really do with a Tour of RGT to show me round the App and provide some rides that are well populated with other riders.

I am actually looking forward to exploring my first ToS next year. Just wondering when it would begin.

The ToS, by tradition, is the first week in February. However, this is subject to change due to conditions outside of GvAs control. Expect a week of brutal activity though. A review of previous ToS is advised (you can even ride a few if you desire, actually it is encouraged).
