Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® TX 23-1

Where Veterans Ride Together and Lift Each Other Up.

CVMA Rider Programs

The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® offers several riding programs designed to encourage participation, camaraderie, and long-distance riding among members. These programs recognize members who actively represent the organization on the road by attending meetings, events, and visiting chapters across the state and nation.

Each program has its own unique requirements and recognition patches that celebrate the dedication and commitment of our riders. Participation in these programs helps strengthen the bonds between chapters and promotes the spirit of “Vets Helping Vets” throughout the CVMA® community.

Below is an overview of the riding programs available to members. This page provides a brief description of each program; however, members should always refer to the official program documentation for the most current rules, requirements, and submission procedures.

Long Range Riding Platoon (LRRP)

The Long Range Riding Platoon is a national CVMA® recognition program that rewards members who complete significant long-distance rides to sanctioned CVMA® events. Riders can earn various achievement tabs such as Finish the Mission, Tri-State, Inner-State, and Grand Slam based on mileage and event participation.

Texas 23 Rider Program

The Texas 23 Rider Program encourages CVMA® Texas members to visit chapters throughout the state and build camaraderie between chapters. Members earn recognition by attending meetings or events hosted by other Texas chapters while traveling by motorcycle.

CVMA® TX 23-1 Distinguished Rider Program

The Distinguished Rider Program (DRP) serves two important functions at the chapter level. The first of these is as an incentive program to encourage chapter members to participate in rides and events. Secondly, the DRP rewards and recognizes chapter riders and passengers who steadfastly participate in rides and events. Riding and camaraderie are founding principles of the CVMA®. The DRP strengthens and grows our chapter.
