Thoroughly recommended. Excellent route and great organisation.

Accom is booking out FAST.

Yes, yes, yes!
I'll be there but need definitely need more suitable gearing this time round!

^ not fixed then?

I shall be hardening up and doing it fixed this time. On my newly acquired 1930s tricycle. Maybe not the hundy miler tho...

I did the long route last time on gears and all that bike riding made me a bit tired.

@Hefty pics of said contraption?

Anyone know if you can ride more than one route on the day? Because I'd want to do the 100 but most of my friends and members of my family would probably only manage the 30 or at a push 50. Or whether it's possible for you to go as a group, split for the 100/50, and then those doing the 50 to wait and rejoin the 100 milers?

^ Not officially as the different routes have different start windows, but the 100 and 50 shared a fair bit of the route so if you were prepared to ignore official start times it would work for a good amount of the ride. However it would leave the people doing the 50 miler very lonely unless they took a long break and waited for others who started at the official time.

I guess if you could hold 25mph you could probably do the 100 and then catch up with the 50...

Whoah! That's different!
That front brake looks agricultural. What is it?
Pretty cool nonetheless.

A Resilion apparently :

Sweet ride dude.
I spoke with a trike enthusiast last year, I was seriously jealous of his machine.

I'll do this....I didn't want to this year, as I thought it would be a 'jump on the bandwagon, English, bad version' of the real thing.....seems like it wasn't though.

Enter your text here...^Ha certainly showed Italy how it should be done

this guy, beautiful trike, much jealousy!

For some reason I have a reminder in the calendar that tix are on sale today!
But have not seen it on the site.

When when when?!?!?!

^thanks, I had forgotten all about it!!!!

Bugger. It clashes with the Gran Fondo Sportful which @Cycliste and I have already entered, being terribly well organised. Oh well, 2016 it is...

And the Retro Ronde clashes with the Le Mans 24 hour race (aka my weekend of solitary tranquility while @Cycliste goes off to be a pit-lane marshal at Le Mans). Double bugger.

Who got the email?

Problems with new booking engine and site/system blah blah
Tix out Dec/Jan!

Woo yeah, something to look forward to. This was a highlight for me in 2014. Seriously need to regear for 2015.
Up for the 100 miles again. Keen for a group shakedown ride closer to the time.

Group shakedown ride = good idea. too many loose parts last year!

Quite fancy this ... despite hating dressing up I just wanna see the vintage pron.

Skully - it was great. And there were plenty of people in non vintage get-up at the festival..
