This year the sportive also opens its doors to retro riders taking part in the Crafted Classique Retro Ride. Cyclists show off their fantastic selection of vintage bicycles and take a leisurely spin on their newly restored wheels alongside a group of likeminded heroic riders. Take part in the retro ride by selecting the "ClassicRider" option. 

Anyone taking part in the Retro Ride can show off their pride and joy in our supervised bicycle display area. 

Retro riders are invited to start together, setting off in one big group at a time to be announced later.
