As a proud independent tour provider of road cycling tours in Taiwan, we decided to use our expertise to give the cycling community a little taste of Taiwan cycling. In partnership with Rouvy, one of the leading virtual cycling networks, the event allowed competitors to virtually experience the central mountains in Taiwan, the home to the Taiwan KOM challenge. And, as 2020 has been such a bad year for cycling competition, the VCR gave everyone a rare opportunity to exercise their neglected competitive streak.
At a time when restrictions are rife and closed international borders are still badly affecting our travel plans, the VCR brought 3 world-famous cycling champions and over 100 cycling enthusiasts and club members together, to compete in a virtual cycling haven . Supporting Action Medical Research with vital fundraising, participants had the once in a lifetime opportunity to ride in a virtual peloton with Ed Laverack and Mark Beaumont, with invaluable live stream tips from Alex Dowsett.
