In order to be a member of the Gold Thousand Mile Club, the cyclist must complete Five or More Double Centuries in the California Triple Crown Series of Double Centuries in One Year and support, or provide support for, at least one of them.  

One purpose of this challenge is to give back to these Double Centuries by supporting them. By supporting them, the person must contact the Double Century organizer and provide some significant help in producing the Double Century.

These rides can only continue if volunteers (spelled Y-O-U) jump in and help. Support means that you and/or a family member or friend volunteer to provide significant help with a Double Century. The Organizers have the sole right to determine who gets volunteer credit for their events.

If a volunteer doesn’t ride a Double in this calendar year, they can share any volunteer days to anyone they choose.

If a volunteer rides a Double in this calendar year, the volunteer cannot share their FIRST volunteer day but can give subsequent volunteer days to anyone they choose.

If you want to share your volunteer work with another person, please send an e-mail to Frank Neal, the California Triple Crown Data Guy at: BIKEVAN <at> Verizon <dot> net

It is not enough to just ride the rides because if that's all everyone does, these major adventures will go the way of the dinosaurs!! It's not easy running Rest Stops 200+ Miles out in the middle of nowhere so each of these rides need YOUR help. Besides that, it's fun to help out your fellow cyclists, to learn more about this great sport of ours, and to get a chance to talk to some really great people.

These select riders can have an additional banner added to their Custom California Triple Crown Jersey / T-Shirt by specifying "Gold Thousand Mile Club" in the Custom Text. Also, they qualify to purchase our awesome CTC Gold Thousand Mile jersey.
