VIETNAM HERITAGE RIDE
60 or 120km Cycle

After our inaugural race in 2007, the event organizers realised that participants often do not get to appreciate

the full splendour of the country in the triathlon competition, being totally focused on their race.  In 2008 we

have successfully introduced a recreational ride on the following day from Hoi An to My Son, two of Vietnam's

major historical treasures and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
