Tandem Rally Calendar Now Updated for 2024

After receiving a Registration Now Open notice from the 2024 Coldspring Tandem Weekend yesterday, I made a point of dusting off our 2023 Calendar and updating it for 2024, and you can now find the by-product of that initial effort for at least the Road Tandem Events at the following link:

*TANDEM EVENTS 1 / ROAD

Our blog-page calendar is still mirrored on the Tandem Club of America webpage, so that now reflects the same updates I’ve just posted to my blog; it can be found here:

https://tandemclub.org/calendar/

My methodology was the same as usual in that I visited all of the 2023 rally sites that tend to retain the same domain name / URL each year to see if they’d been updated, and then for those URLs that were not updated I did a quick search for the rally event name, batting about .650 with results. The events are listed in chronological order, noting that the latter half of May has become quite crowded with six (6) overlapping events, one of which is the International Tandem Rally in the Netherlands and one is the semi-commercial Horsey 100 in Georgetown, Kentucky.

For anyone involved in the planning for an upcoming 2024 tandem rally event who does not see their updated event information posted, or sees any errors, please let me know and I’ll adjust accordingly.

Please note, my blogs are still non-commercial, but WordPress has taken it upon themselves to change their policies over the past year to begin dotting blogs that don’t have a premium package with ads, so my apologies for the ‘junk’ that shows up in the margins and that gets inserted ‘in-line’ now and again. Just know that it’s WordPress who’s generating revenue from these ads and not yours truly.

Finally, note that I did change the formatting a bit from last year in a manner that has added a lot of ‘white space’ for separation of the event entries that will hopefully make it easier to parse the events from one-another. However, in doing so I also reduced the size of the text for my extracts from the event sites pertaining to summary information regarding the events costs, rally registration limits, host hotel information, etc. So, if it appears a bit too small, please feel free to use your browser’s ‘Zoom’ feature to increase the size of the all-text, no images webpage. And, yes, I’ll be getting around to doing a similar update to my off-road events calendar in the next day or so.
