The Retrobike National Event Series 2012
With support from Bikefood
The 2011 Retrobike National Event Series was a resounding success, with rides regularly attracting over 40 like minded retro enthusiasts, having a great time on some quality trails.
2012 promises to be another amazing year for Retrobike riding. Not only are your regional area groups in great shape with rides regularly being organised, but we’ve also put together another cracking National Series to entice you.

We’ve done our very best to spread them around the United Kingdom, offer some of the very best trails and also make the series completely free to enter.
