TOSRV 1971 Tour of Scioto River Valley Patch AYH Forever Cycling Vintage
This vintage TOSRV Tour of the Scioto River Valley patch commemorates the 10th Annual ride in 1971, one of the early years of the now famous Ohio cycling event.
The patch features the bold phrase “10th Annual TOSRV 71 AYH Forever”, reflecting the strong connection between the ride and American Youth Hostels (AYH) cycling clubs during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Many early participants were hostel members traveling and organizing long distance bicycle tours.
Its simple block lettering and classic embroidered construction capture the spirit of the early bike touring movement in America.
The vintage cheesecloth backing is typical of patches produced during this era. Has pinhole.
A great piece for vintage cycling collectors, TOSRV riders, or anyone interested in early American bike touring culture.
Ships quickly and packed with care!
