Re: Retrobike National Series Rd 1: Lake District ~ 23/03/13
Grizedale has a few mildly rocky sections, whereas the north loop at Whinlatter isn't that pleasant on a fully rigid bike.
However, the route we'll be doing is tried and tested on old fully rigid bikes and it's great fun on such a machine.
Regardless, this is a Retrobike ride so modern bikes will be thrown into Coniston Water before we set off, so best to bring something suitably unsuitable.
Are you sure you aren't mixing this up with Whinlatter?clockworkgazz":39dsmb93 said:last time down at grizdale on my rigid clockwork was a bit brutal so tbh I'm tempted by a bit of modern.... go on and convince me that retro should win the day folks....
