The series is non-competitive in terms of riding, but to add to the interest we are putting together a National League Table with big points awarded for:-
• Riding Retro
• Wearing Retro (RB kit inclusive)
• Bike of The Ride
• Skinwall Tyres
• Sense of Humour
• Regional Bonus for distance travelled
• Photography
• Bodging skills
But what we give with one hand we’ll take with another and deduct points for:-
• Pikeing (a technical term for not turning up when you said you would)
• Mechanicals
• Punctures
• Riding a Modern Bike
• Not wearing a helmet
The league table will be updated and posted up as part of our monthly newsletter. Once you’ve attended a ride you automatically get entered into the league. At the end of the series the points winner will be awarded a special prize, there will be other spot prizes too. You’ll also receive a unique event sticker at each ride, can anyone collect all 7?
Please keep checking our calendar and monthly newsletter for details.
Round 1 of The Retrobike National Event Series with support from Bikefood is at Cannock Chase on Bank Holiday Monday December 27th, full details can be found by clicking HERE!
