Went out on the Velo Retro - The Friendly Festival Saunter (short) route today. Everything in order, more importantly, it was warm, on March 6th!

Morning!

We've had lots of panic emails, since the medium / Loafeur route sold out this weekend.

Fear not, it isn't over! Here's what we're going to do.

Later today, we'll redistribute tickets from some of the other categories, so there will be places.

If you're intending to book for the short or long routes, please note that the numbers for those will be going down.

We'll do what we can to fit you in, but we can't increase overall capacity, without going back through the event submission process (no, no and thrice no!!)

Hopefully this helps 😊

Every retro event I've ridden since 2013, has been on this bike. I reckon it's earned a bit of pampering.

Unfortunately, all of the components will now look rough!
