‘The camping was great and had everything we needed’

The #ride5000mi­les community is so much more than just the Facebook group and this year we want to get more of you together, to meet in person and swap stories over a cuppa or a pint. With this in mind we’d like to invite you along to the Devitt MCN Festival on May 8-19. If you’re a regular at rallies with friends, enjoy quiet camping weekends with the family or solo adventures, the MCN Festival caters for all. Following a successful visit last year with their children Amber and Ben, James and Frances Perkins can’t wait for this year’s festival. “The camping was great and had everything we needed,” James said. “The show was fantastic but the best bit for us was the evening entertainm­ent. Some of the bikers were scary-looking dudes but they all made my little lad feel like a star for the night and he ended up with loads of freebies.” Both Martin Buck and Philip Weston are members of the Iron Butt Associatio­n and have the date in their diaries already. “Last year was the first time I’d been to the MCN Festival,” said BMW R1200GS rider, Martin. “I loved the camaraderi­e of camping with my fellow IBA UK riders. We’re already discussing plans for this year. The IBA UK stand will be at the Festival, so I’m intending to be there with friends.”

“It’s a great social event with loads to do and see” commented Philip. “I’ll be going this year and camping on the IBA UK club stand. I love being able to experience all aspects of motorcycli­ng. There’s test rides, manufactur­er stands and some great flat-track racing.” Martin added: “The evening entertainm­ent was good and having real ale on offer was an unexpected bonus.” Meanwhile Phillip shied away from the large jugs of ale, going in search of a much-loved mug of tea. If you fancy a top weekend under canvas at this year’s MCN Festival, take advantage of our exclusive #ride5000mi­les offer. For the great price of £60 for a pair of tickets (the normal advance price is £35 each), not only will you gain access to the action-packed show but you’ll also get the live evening entertainm­ent, a dedicated camping area, a beer on us and a #R5K pin badge.
