The Bike Shed is to run a new biking festival at Lydden Hill race circuit in Kent later this year, allowing retro enthusiasts to experience both on-track and off-road action. The event has been launched after the success of the Shed’s first Café Racer Cup, which took place at the circuit last year and will include a variety of other classes, including 125s, carbed sportsbikes and supermotos.
Interestingly, the festival, which will run from 4-6 October, will also include The Commuter Cup, which is open to riders in hi-vis on bikes with panniers and top boxes. Overtakes must be made with indication, or the place yielded. The Bike Shed is based at Shoreditch in London.
The event is primarily designed for those who have little to no track-day experience and have never considered racing, riders will be split into groups according to their lap times during practice, recorded via transponders.
Those wanting off-road action are also catered for by Malle London, who will host The Malle Trials comprising of a series of races on inappropriate machinery up the grassy hill beside the track.
Run as a weekend festival, pitches are available for tents, as well as showers and washing facilities. Glamping is also available, with tickets available through the Bike Shed Festival website.
