After an enjoyable two years of the retro ride it makes complete sense to do it again! Date this year will be Sat 22nd November 2025
As always any bike is welcome to any part of the day. Old or new. Just come and enjoy the banter and a few old bikes with likeminded people
Location for this year will be as per last year. A good area for people to park up and display a few bikes etc
Format will be similar to previous years.. a trail ride lead by local legend Dean Cameron and a bit of a show and shine with buy/sell/trade if people want.
Trail ride depart at 10am
Show and shine etc roughly 2pm
Trail ride will be similar to last year.. mainly Grade 1/2 sort of things to keep everybody happy and then possibly those who are keen can push on a little further and do some additional grade 3 trails. Roadside etc is always good fun and accessible without too much of a push on the older bikes
Will have a people’s choice award again and a special theme each year moving forward. This year the obvious initial choice is New Zealand! Get working on those Keewee/Jeffson/2-stage/Avanti/N-zone etc and bring them up to scratch! Bikes dont need to be ridable to enter but rolling would be good. Frame/fork/wheels etc. You can see more specific info in some posts on the page below. Please bring a few bike stands if you have them handy!
Feel free to share any questions etc on this page or PM me!
Cheers and looking forward to it already!
