The League of Veteran Racing Cyclists provides racing for cyclists who are veterans. To join you must be 40 years of age or more; the League is open equally to male and female bike racers. In the LVRC you are always allowed to compete in an older age group than your calendar age indicates. This is deliberately designed to help people get back into racing, and move up the groups as fitness starts to return.
