Simpson Retro 2026 celebrates the life and legacy of Tom Simpson and takes place in Harworth, Nottinghamshire as part of the Tom Simpson Cycling Festival. The event blends heritage talks, social events and a retro market with a non‑competitive, on‑road leisure ride along roads Simpson once trained on. Riders are asked to use bikes manufactured before 1995 or machines styled to that period to retain authenticity, and the ride is fully signposted with a feed zone provided halfway.
The Simpson Retro ride day is on Sunday 13 September 2026 with Event HQ opening at 08:00 and the group ride starting at 10:00, followed by the Best in Show competition at 14:00. Two route options are offered for the retro ride, and the weekend programme includes talks from former professionals, a retro market and display as part of the wider festival. The event is organised by Cycling Legends and supports the festival atmosphere of nostalgia and celebration around Tom Simpson's memory.
