[Bristol Vintage Velo] Pedals Win Prizes

[Bristol Vintage Velo]

God bless Bristol, and all who sail in her! As with last year, we've found any number of local businesses willing to dip a hand in their pockets and donate some amazing prizes in order to make the Vintage Velo extra-special for you, the lucky participant.

So, in addition to a fancy Brooks saddle from Bools, and a stunning portrait of your pride and joy from Bespoke Bike Portraits, we'll be giving away some quality riding water courtesy of Grape and Grind, tea for two at Boston Tea Party, and some really useful bike accessories from, er, Really Useful Bikes.

We'll also shortly have details of a very special prize provided by Bristol Bike Workshop, which promises to be the most spectacular giveaway yet. Keep perusing this space!

When can I expect some information about where the day will begin/route etc.?

I don't want to miss out on the chance to win.................prizes!

I notice from the website that I should have been given details when I registered but I haven't. And there's me getting me costume all organised an' all. To say nothing of the bike?

Paul.

Dear Paul,

We've tried to send the entry confirmation to you twice already. Perhaps it is residing in one's Spam folder? In any event, it has been re-sent separately to your personal email. Third time lucky, and all that...

Best wishes,

The Vintage Velo team

Dear Vintage Velo Team
 
As it has not been my good  fortune to witness the delights of Bristol and its environs ( being an itinerant to the district ), I would dearly love to know if the the ride includes a return
to the starting point ,i.e. the suspension bridge or will we be left to our own resources  to effect a return ?
I only mention this as I do not posses a map of what I am sure will be a delightfully interesting and hopefully minor route to our destination and would like to think that I would be sufficiently capable,even after refreshments ,liquid or otherwise !! not to rely on other forms of transport
 
With best wishes and hoping for fine weather on the day
 
Yours aye
 
Rodney Crane

Hello old bean, I believe we are to make our own way back to the start, or our awaiting vehicles. I am not resident either but do cycle in and around the charming town quite frequently and know my way around quite adequately. I expect there will be plenty of us probably riding back. I'll be on a '39 black Raleigh Sports model. Can't wait for the event; jolly excited. J.Merriman esq --- On Fri, 20/4/12, rodney crane <willow...@hotmail.com> wrote:

The return journey will be very clearly signed and easy to find one's way back. Or this year there's an alternative of taking a local train, should one's legs not be bearing up under the sherry.
