The Retro-Ronde looks great, a more picturesque route than we are accustomed to in the US...of course that is very much a matter of perspective. One thing in common with US vintage rides--most of the riders are guys with grey hair and a few extra pounds!

(Actually I'm going to backpedal on that, looking at the photos there are a lot of riders who couldn't have been riding the vintage bikes in the 70s much less the 60s. Same here on C&V, though the predominant age is probably 55-65. And that's a good thing.)
