Motorcycle Events in February 2020
31 January & 2 February
Arenacross Round 3 & 4
Genting Arena, Perimeter Rd, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT
We say:
Hugely popular with families, this import from the States has everything – stunts, racing and a tinnitus-challenging atmosphere. Better still, it’s all indoors so it can’t be rained off. The series only lasts six weeks at various venues until the end of February, so if you want to see some back-flips, 360’s and actual competitive racing, get in quick.
Prices: Adult from £20.00, Children under 12, £12.00, Family (2+2) £60.00, all plus delivery costs
1-2 February
The 40th Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show
The Royal Bath & West, The Royal Bath & West, Shepton Mallet, Somerset BA4 6QN
NOTE: This event was due to be held at the beginning of the month but was postponed due to the weather.
They say:
An event that many deem as their favourite of the year. With a friendly atmosphere, Classic Bike Shows’ annual trip to Britain’s southwest is well known for the extravagant exhibitions put on by the local motorcycle clubs who go all out to impress. Add several inside halls filled with a blend of traders, dealers and autojumble stands, it’s a must for any true classic enthusiast.
Prices: Gate: Adult £14, Kids under 15 free

7-9 February
The Overland Event Winter Warmer
We Say:
A smaller, more intimate version of the main Overland Event aimed at bikers who venture further than the nearest cafe. Workshop speakers include adventure idol Austin Vince as well as Steph Jeavons, Aaron Mitchell and Nathan Millward. There will be music on the Saturday and Friday nights, films, and welcome treats that include a free beanie – the essential piece of kit when camping in winter! Spaces are limited so book early as there will be no tickets available on the gate.
Prices: £40 per person

8-9 February
The Dragon Rally
Snowdonia, Conway, North Wales (precise details are released nearer the day)
Wikipedia says:
(Attracts] 1,500 to 2,000 riders depending on the weather and location. The rally is famed for its toughness and spartan facilities. Riders often have to endure miserable riding conditions to attend the rally and, once on site, they are expected to camp without regard to the weather conditions. It is an event held in veneration by large numbers of motorcyclists as a test of stamina and endurance because (in the first two decades at least) it was common to have to endure snow and ice to ride there. The Dragon is often grouped with the German Elefantentreffen (Elephant Rally) and the Norwegian Krystall Rally.
Prices: Entries from £25 per bike. Free to watch

15 February
Stunt Fest
Santa Pod Raceway, Airfield Road, Podington, Wellingborough, Northants, NN29 7XA

This is more of a car and monster trucks event if we’re to be honest, but bikes do feature. Expect big jumps with acrobatics in between and the usual skids and slide control antics.

They say:
Telford’s annual off-road and road-racing show has a tradition of drawing the biggest names and 2017 is no different. Clubs and private entrants will pack into the venue once again, bringing together the most fascinating collection of historic off-road machines you’ll find under one roof, and they’ll be joined by a raft of traders offering everything from parts and spares through to accessories and riding kit, plus project bikes…if you’re tempted.

59 Club Day
Ace Cafe, Ace Corner, North Circular Road (A406), NW10 7UD
We say:
This event is closest to the heart of the 59 Club, born as it was from the heyday of cafe racing between the various cafes around London’s orbital ring roads, the Ace being one of the main venues. If you are not familiar with the 59 Club’s full story take a look here or better still, come and meet some of the original members on the day itself.
Prices: Free to attend
