Old Dominion Cavalry Trophy Winners
The Cavalry Division is unique to the Old Dominion ride, serving to encapsulate the ride's founding history from the very first ride in 1974 and throughout the decades up to the rides today. We acknowledge and salute the many riders who took up the challenge to ride in this division, and who exemplify the true meaning of "endurance".
