1 MONTH AHEAD
British Superbikes August 17-19, Cadwell Park, Lincs
No matter how much racing you’ve seen, if you haven’t watched up close as some of the best riders in the world launch themselves over the Mountain and into the tight, twisty and dangerous Woodland section of this historic track, then you’ve been denying yourself a treat. Deny yourself no further .... www.britishsuperbike.com
Festival of Bikes Sept 8-9, Cheltenham Town Hall
A celebration of choppers, customs, café racers, scooters, specials and classics. Pretty much anything non-standard really, with the emphasis on shed-built ingenuity, not chequebook bolt-ons. Why not enter your modified bike? www.thecustomshow.com
Drunken Monkey Rock Festival Aug 3-5, Upton on Severn, Worcs
Not really bike-related but with free camping all weekend, you and some mates could turn it into your own rally. Lots of bands, trade stands, food outlets and (of course) bars on site. Raises cash for the Midlands Air Ambulance. www.drunkenmonkeyrockfest.co.uk
No Bull Just Beer and Bikes August 24-27, Llanelwedd, Powys
The clue’s in the title... A proper bike rally/party, with bands, beer, tattooists, trade and food stands, bar and daft games. Bike show on the side and tractor rides into Builth Wells. www.nobullbeerandbikes.co.uk
