Rapha Tempest brings you a complete festival of road cycling, the first of its kind in the UK, with rides and racing, bespoke on-site camping, visual displays, music, food and drink, workshops, films and plenty of partying. We’ll have guided rides in the days and evenings, a mini Super Cross (cyclocross), secure 24-hour bike parking, a rider recovery zone, and an on-site Rapha Cycle Club. For entertainment there will be live music and DJs, an open-air cinema with film screenings, and various scheduled workshops and talks, along with partner stalls and installations in the Festival Village.
Big screens will be set up for anyone wishing to watch the race. For those who bring bikes, stages are easily accessible on two wheels – stage 1 is just three miles and stage two is 9 miles away from the festival site. Walking to the first stage will be signposted for anyone who wishes to hike it (approximately 40 minutes).
