2021 STATE OF GRAND TOUR COMMITTEE REPORT
At the end of 2021 the Grand Tour Committee consisted of Emmett Duprey (PA 38) as the Grand Tour Chairman,
Tom Hoedjes (Switzerland 1) as European Coordinator,
and Roger van Kollenburg (Aus 5) as Australia/New Zealand Coordinator.
Tom Hoedjes decided to step down at the end of 2021 and Rolf Muehlemann (Switzerland 1) has been appointed the European Coordinator.
We want to thank Tom for all his years with the Grand Tour Program.
We also would like to welcome Rolf to the Committee.
The Grand Tour program is growing in members completing rides and obtaining their Grand Tour Master.
The goal of the Committee is to make sure all chapters participate and make their members aware of the program.
From all of the members to all of you, have a safe riding season and hope to see you at a Convention or Rally in 2022.
