some found it hard-going last time - bit hillier than they were used to! but it'll depend on the route and there was a real mix of abilities and fitness, so wherever you are on that spectrum you'll have company!

Nobody ever gets left behind on a Retrobike ride.

We normally ride for a couple of miles then regroup, ride a bit, regroup etc.

I'm verging on committing to this....what are the routes or are they 'secret' ??

Seeing as MCK has dropped out I might step up to the plate and represent Bedfordshire (even though I've recently moved....)

Max and I will be researching this year's trail over the coming weekends - starting Sunday. So anyone with special requests regarding terrain, views or foodstops can holler now...

I will post up information regarding B and Bs and the planned route in due course - in the meantime, I think I have found this year's theme... :-)
