KMF Bike Night ‘After Show Ride’

Kendal Mountain Festival Bike Night ‘After Show Ride’ with Wheelbase Cycles and Trek Factory Racing.

The hottest ticket in town this weekend was the Kendal Mountain Festival ‘Bike Night’ – an evening of the world’s best riding films and speakers – adventure, adrenaline and epic achievements – hosted by Rob Warner and Lee Craigie and sponsored by Trek Bikes, Komoot, Endura and Wheelbase Cycles.

With star riders from the Trek Factory Racing team in town we had the opportunity to put on something special. So, in partnership with Trek we arranged the KMF ‘After Show Ride’.

Saturday morning turned out to be a stunner. Mild temperatures and clear blue skies made for a perfect day in the Kentmere valley. With some of the best trail riding in the Lake District national park, the valley is just a stones throw away from our Lake District Superstore. Around 60 riders turned out for the ride that headed out from the store and into the hills.

Alongside members of the public we were joined by riders from the Trek Factory racing team. We had Enduro World Series stars Ruaridh Cunningham, Katy Winton and the legendary Tracy Moseley. Also joining us on the ride was journalist and the world’s most famous bike tester, Yorkshire’s Guy Kesteven. Guy has put together a short film documenting the ride for his YouTube channels.
