Retro Ronde 2018

[garethrl]

Hi folks,
I've updated an older thread about last year's (non-)event:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=364107#p2849893

The 11th Retro Ronde is in 2 weekends' time so if you're planning on riding then let's try to meet up!

Cheers,
Gareth.

Do they police the clipless pedals rule, even for period time TBT pedals?

In principle - yes. In practice - no not really. I've seen people riding on modern bikes with brifters and clipless pedals. It's arguably not inthe spirit of the even - but as you say clipless pedals were becoming widespread before the fairly arbitrary cut-off date so it's a slightly vague area.

If you want to enter your bike into the best-in-show competition then that's different. Clips'n'straps, downtube shifters and non-aero cabling are a must for that.

Cheers,
Gareth.

I’m signed in for the 160, so expect to see me in a ditch around the 120 mark: Peugeot PY10 and a woolie Irish jersey
