RetroRonde, Sunday July 1st 2012
The Tour of Flanders as we remember it from our childhood days is back! The 6th RetroRonde of Flanders is a bicycle trip of 40 km (or 70 km for the diehards): all racers will be wearing an outfit of heroic bikers of the past and all of them will ride an authentic race bike of this bygone era. Examples? Goggles, woollen race shirts of legendary sponsors, genuine rider’s caps, the good old sausage-shaped helmets... Want more? Bikes with strapped foot hooks, gears on the frame and flask attached to the handle bars. And yes, the environment will be historic too: Old Timers, ancient motorbikes...
Don't just collect old bicycles, ride them too!
Perhaps you have an old race outfit stored away somewhere, or maybe you have a friend or relative who has one. And what about your uncle’s old race bike? Put a new tire on it and off you go! The RetroRonde takes place at Sunday July 1st.
Participate!
