Festival bikers head for mountains
JON MACPHERSON riding on some of the North West’s finest fells with a focus on post-ride activities in the festival hub located in and around Ramsbottom’s Civic Hall.
Pro rider Ricky Crompton, cycling duo Rich and Tom Pips and the Hope Tech women’s ride will hold a Q&A session.
Visitors will also be able to ride routes above Ramsbottom that have never been used before.
Northern Grip organiser Tom Whitehead said: “The festival hub at the Civic Hall will have a full programme of activities with film screenings, live music, DJs, Q&As with extraordinary riders, bike demos and, of course, great local food and ales. We’ll also be throwing in some memorable surprises throughout the day.”
Food and drink will be available in the festival hub’s courtyard featuring Northern Grip Bunny Hop ale brewed exclusively for the festival, as well as an array of food including wood fired pizzas from local food traders The Venetian.
As the festival runs into the evening the party vibe will take over as they hand over to some brilliant local bands and DJs.
Award winning gastropub the Eagle and Child will be performing breakfast duties on Sunday before visitors are invited to head out onto the hills for one last big ride.
