Retro @ York Cycle rally 2022

Me & @JimBobBurt have booked camping for the weekend, will be bringing a "garden" of Clauds (thats 8 to you non cockenese speaking types)
So, three overbury’s pioneers and a connoisseur road suitable? Just booked for the Friday Saturday Sunday camping is that the total admission charge?
 
I remember going to the York Rally years ago as a yoof. I didn’t really appreciate it at the time. I was into the new MTB craze, which was all about throwing the old rules out of the window. It was new, fresh, colourful.
Gang of us on MTB’s went there, and it was full of ‘roadies’. It felt like the opposite of the cool MTB scene: traditional, old, somewhat dull. Nothing like the fresh new scene we were reading about in MBUK… Plus none of the vendors were selling MTB kit.
I have a different view now and appreciate the event for what it is. I think it’s really impressive how it brings the cycling community together, has been going for so many years, and is run entirely by volunteers.
