The Bike Shed Festival race calendar has been announced ahead of the event at Lydden Hill on 5/6 October. Organisers say that whether you’re racing or spectating, there will be great track races on both days.

The inaugural weekend festival is presented by REV’IT!, and supported by Royal Enfield.
London-based Bike Shed describes the event as “long-awaited and much-requested and celebrates motorcycles on the move; on track and on the dirt, with the same level of quality, inclusiveness and high-level hospitality as we deliver every year at Tobacco Dock during our Bike Shed London event”.
It continues: “Last year we tested the idea with the Cafe Racer Cup, over a single day, and it was a fantastic event, but everyone wanted more. Including us.
“For 2019 the event will take place over a whole weekend, with multiple riding events on and off the tarmac, all designed to be accessible to riders who don’t normally ride on track, never mind racing their bikes. This is a chance to have fast, safe fun on your bike without the pressure of a full-on track-day, where the racing is about having fun before earning podium glory.”
Alongside the track riding and racing, the Malle London team will be hosting racing on the grassy hill beside the track, so you can also scramble up the hill with the Malle Trials.
Bike Shed says it has created a festival vibe around the whole event, with food, drink and accommodation, backed by brand and retail exhibitors of all kinds, plus entertainment aimed at a family-friendly crowd.
Lydden Hill, at Wootton, Canterbury, is handy for London and from Europe.
