The Evans Cycles Lake Ride: ride it or swim it
One of the most entertaining, splash filled events of the weekend. Riders take on a floating course made entirely of pontoons stretched across the lake, where balance and bike control are everything. Expect plenty of unplanned dips as they battle their way across the water.
Inspired by the festival’s early days, when daring riders charged downhill and launched off ramps into the lake, the modern Lake Ride keeps that same wild spirit with an official twist.
Saturday only.
Free to watch with your festival ticket.
