What a cracking weekend at the Malverns!! Camped from the Thursday with the family and they haven't stopped talking about it haha I had wished to race the retro xc but fork rebuild came back just in time and lack of retro parts turned into a resto mod and used as the pit bike all weekend have a very soft spot for the event as raced in the 90s and both grand parent lived either side of the malvern hills so like our 2nd home!




always great to see the retro gear but the highlight had to be the JMC tent.. remember well him turning up at the Malverns on his Harley and the crowds round him

Looks like another great edition of the retro show. Unfortunately I couldn't justify the ticket price this year. Which is a shame as I live in Malvern and have ridden my retro over the hills to the event for the last three years. Plus without GT/Retro GT or Hans Rey it was less appealing for me.

I hope the organisers can re think their pricing for next year as they risk killing it.

I have to say the judges were spoilt for choice, a really good selection of early steeds were on display and most in their own right were worth a prize, my favourites were the alu O, a red Mercian and my winner based on what we could all afford was the really tidy GT tequesta.
It would be really nice to see more of the run of the mill affordable classics next year

Overall I know it's expensive, but it's worth it to see lots of great people again, some nice bikes, eat, drink and be merry in a like minded community..... For some, this IS their holiday.

Roll on York festival next year for the next community meet
