What run is this of which you speak? Could this be an excuse to roll out my Edinburgh bike for a high friction low velocity hurl?

Thats me on my first ever Retrobike meet at Cannock Chase Turkey Twizzler on my first retrobike, a very beat up Schwinn Mesa Runner circa 1987 with a 25" frame :shock:

Pic taken by Mr K, shortly afterward we all rode through the biggest muddiest puddle I've ever had the misfortune to cross

found this- this was the first macretro meet was it not?

 

[clockworkgazz]

only one punter with a modern bike- nothing if not consistent

I remember BITD we had our first Macretro meet....

....we could start a website about that and talk about the old bikes we had, and how much better we were than the other riders at the trail, the cakes were even bigger then I reckon.

Tuesday, yes Tuesday.
