The Heritage Ride

The Heritage Ride is a recreational group ride offering two distance-options: 55km or 110km. Cyclists of varying cycling abilities and equipment will be divided in 3 groups, so that everyone gets to enjoy the ride at their own pace. Tribob coaches will be leading the groups. The Heritage ride was introduced to the Vietnam Triatlon in 2008, for participants to enjoy the unique Vietnamese heritage and countryside. Something you may not get to do during the competition. And since you have made all this effort to bring your bike to Hoi An, you’d better use it!

Mountain bikes are allowed and can be rented on site. Send us an email if you want to rent a bicycle.
