Few photos from 1st official Retro Meeting in Poland

[skolioza]

Event was in 19-20/06/10 near Cracow, Poland

Unfortunately weather fall down at Fridays evening (whole two weeks before weather was perfect :evil: ), so we had only 9 bikes / persons on start line... We were still moving / riding, so everyone had only one bike

Bikes: Scott Boulder 90, Breezer Storm 96, Gary Fisher Montare 94, Hopp ?, Raleigh 92, GT Tequesta 93, Specialized Hard Rock ?, Giant?, Schauff 88

Saturday - this day was about 65km off-road trip, fortunately after 1 hour of riding rain stops falling

In the meantime riders had some competitions to do:
Uphill festival (steep, short uphill on wet, slippery ground was hard to win...)

Speedy Bike (riding about 250m route in 8 shape, with long straight parts and tight turns, on bike with flat angles and only one gear 20:28 )

At evening we had dinner by the fire

Sunday - this day was raining whole day and was much colder than yesterday... Riders had to ride about 25km bicycle orienterring with rope bridge competition

Thanx guys
Pity that weather was not so good, I was expecting about 17-20 bikes...
And that's true - areas around Cracow are fantastic for MTBiking and other activitis

ropeslide :shock: ???!!! :shock:

Not in retro style, I know... My idea was to make for riders something different something over the riding a bike, something You'll not found it in every bike trip and giving some adrenaline

Rad, hope we'll can meet in Poland
