Ireland’s OldVelos Vintage Classic cycle and exhibition returns to the Waterford Greenway on the weekend of August 25th & 26th. Based at Coach House Coffee in Kilmacthomas, and sponsored by bike parts manufacturer SRAM, the spectacle promises classic racing and road bikes of yesteryear.

Saturday’s free exhibition and Concours d’Elegance prizegiving showcases the efforts of the many enthusiastic Irish and international rebuilders and restorers. This is a keenly contested competition with the best bike on show awarded the coveted Longford Tractor Spares Trophy.

Sunday’s OldVelos Vintage Classic cycle offers two routes. The 25mile Curraghmore Loop see riders of classic bikes, roadsters and highnellies enjoying the magnificent facility that is the Waterford Greenway before proceeding for coffee and buns at the historic Curraghmore Estate in Portlaw.

For the more adventurous, the Comeragh Loop with 50 & 75 mile options will test the metal of both bike and rider as would-be racers traverse the terrain that preceded the careers of Sean Kelly and Sam Bennett.
