Not to my knowledge. Sounds like we need to organize some?

What's a retro ride?

[L'iota]

No answers? I'll make a pretty flexible guess. A liesurely ride of about 25 - 30 km on any kind of bike built last century.

Thanks for the explanation. That's me out then. I'm the only thing around here that was made last century.

Not to much interest must be more of a Sydney thing

I would definately be interested in a Newcastle retro ride!

Theres a monthly ride along the Newcastle foreshore run by a group from OZBmx (myself included). A leisurely roll from Wickham up to the breakwall and back again that regularly attracts anywhere from 6 to 12 riders. It would be no problem to copy the route, just on old bikes rather than old BMXs - just need to get a group together to get it all started and that of course requires a date to be set.

Lets re-start the conversation.... Wickham motorcycles, 11am, April 28th, anyone?

Cheers,

Matt

Would like to join in the ride but I will be in Victoria riding some of their great rail trails. Earlier that week I hope to be riding part of the Mountains to Murray Rail Trail at night (it will be full moon). I've ridden part of it previously at night with a full moon (plus usual lights of course). Bicycle Heaven!
Have a great ride, L'iota

Hi all,

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this weekend... However, it does seem that we have a good degree of interest and a few possible routes - just need a date set and go from there. Lets keep the conversation going and gradually it'll happen. I recently bought a Speedwell Special Sports (try saying that quickly) and am keen to get it out for a decent ride

Hi Matt,

Do you know what year your Speedwell Special Sports is from? Can you post a picture? Did you buy it at Islington?
I have 5 Speedwell Special Sports bikes from dating from 1955 to about 1966.
