The NAVCC holds
a vintage cycle rally each run by one of its clubs. The rally
in 2001, was hosted, by the Northleach
Olde Tyme Wheelers club. The venue was at the Church of England
school in Nortleach.
The rally was over a hilly course. The
weather remained fine and all the riders enjoyed the ride. The
number of riders was down this year, but this was may be because
of foot and mouth or the fact that schools started in some parts
the next day. The field for caravans and tents for those wishing
to stay the weekend was to have been in a field next to the start,
but because of the foot and mouth out break and as sheep used
the field, the caravans had to use a field at the other end of
Nortleach. The hills were a test for all the riders. This may
have been why boneshakers were not out in force. 87 riders were
entered in the programme but the number on the day was a up on
that.
The rally organiser was R Holand. The Judges
were Ned Passey Colin Bedford and Bridget Ellis.
