the great Michael Wilkens has been in touch to give us the 2012 dates for his two great endurance race events, both held in Bristol
First off is the
Ritchey Bristol Bikefest powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport
9th – 10th June 2012 – Ashton Court, Bristol
In 2012 the ‘Ritchey Bristol Bikefest powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport’ will return once more to the fantastic event location of Ashton Court, Bristol. But this year the organisers have got a new course. Tested in the Oktoberfest and given some star ratings the Bikefest will also run on the new Ashton Court course in 2012. The infamous 12 hour team/solo endurance race will take place on Saturday the 9th June and will be followed the day after (10th June) by the 6 hour team/solo event and the 3 hour ‘novice’ event.
Both days are aimed at the experienced rider as well as the newcomer. On Saturday there will be solo, pairs and teams of four categories. The Sunday race will have the same categories. All team sizes can be entered in the team open, team ‘old gits’ (average age of riders needs to be 40+ years) or single speed category (please note – no single speed category on Sunday). There are obviously mixed teams and pairs in the running as well. Besides that the 3 hour novice event will have teams of 2-4 and a solo category.
Besides the race action there wil be a great musical line-up, with live music on Saturday night and DJ running from early evening late into the night on Friday and Saturday. On top of that there will a bar on Friday and Saturday, the Bikefest food village and a colourful event village with a broad selection of the latest bikes and kit.
