If you’re after something to do this Sunday Magic Rock Tap has a Bike Day from 12 -19.00, we’ll be showing a film of our new feature at 3pm. And there’s beer to be drunk too, what more do you want?
Facebook has all the details. or they’re C+P’d below…
Being a bike-centric brewery we thought we’d put together a day that celebrates the joy of cycling. On the 10th of July we’re going to invite a few people from the bike world to join us in the Tap Room.
/// Bike Stalls : Orange Mountain Bikes, Chromag and Hope Technology will be there on the day showing off their shiny new bike technology.
/// Activities and screenings
Street Bikes Stall: A big part of the day is based around the community and family; with this in mind Street Bikes will host a stall showing off their great range of bikes for all abilities. Street Bikes are a local community based project, they operate as a non-profit organisation and rely on donations. Over the last 6 years they’ve donated over 6,000 bikes across Kirklees. During the event, people can buy reconditioned bikes direct from them and learn about all the mixed ability rides they organise across Kirklees. (http://www.streetbikes.org.uk/)
RichPips : Rich and Tom, a father and son cycling team from the Peak District will be at the festival to show their inspiring video and host a Q&A about their adventures on a tandem bike. (https://twitter.com/richpips)
RADventure: Dave and Sim, two bike riding storytellers with a passion for adventures, will be showing a premiere of their latest story and film. (http://radventure.cc/)
Roller Racing : If you’ve never tried fixed roller racing, then we can first hand say you’ve got to try it! Battle it out with a friend on a fix bike over 500 meters. We know that doesn’t sound hard but believe us when bragging rights with your mates are on the line, it can push you over the edge. Kids can take part too. Hosted by Sowerby Brothers (http://www.sowerbybroscycles.co.uk/)
Bike Doctor : Got a problem with your bike? Gears not running smoothly? Albion Cycling will be running a bike doctor to help out with any tricky mechanical issues you may have. They’ll be asking for donations to Street Bikes in return for their mechanical help (http://www.albion-cycling.co.uk/)
Raffle : No day is complete without a raffle, with a bumper selection of prizes from all of the festival’s supporters, and all proceeds being donated to Street Bikes.
/// Food & Drinks
Diamond Dogs, Honest Crust and Dim Sum Sue will be keeping you well fed, plus Blawd will be on hand to serve you tasty treats and cakes. Dark Woods filtered coffee will also be on hand to keep you refreshed.
Canned Beer : Magic Rock will be launching a new canned beer on the day (but at the current moment in time they can’t say much more about that!) Check their Twitter and Facebook feed closer to the festival date for more information.
If you like bikes, beer, food and a little bit of friendly competition then hopefully you’ll like Magic Rock’s Bike Day. The event hopes to raise a fair amount of money that will be donated to local charity, Street Bikes. So come along and support a good cause while enjoying a fun cycle-centric day out.
