Take an Adventure bike for a spin

It’s good to have a look round some of the latest machinery but there’s nothing quite like actually slinging a leg over something and taking it for a spin.

At the MCN Festival’s Tom Tom Adventure Zone there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands dirty. Festival-goers can learn some slow-speed riding skills aboard a choice of five Triumphs. Choose from the Tiger 800 XCX, Tiger 800 XCA, Tiger 800 XCX Low, Tiger Explorer XCX Low and Tiger Explorer XCA. Riding kit is supplied, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy!

If you fancy upping the pace, head to the Yamaha AMCA MX Experience. Here, you can test your skills on a mini motocross track using 2015 WR250Fs. It’s a great way to get a feel for the sport and to get some expert guidance.

Just turn up on the day and make your way to the Adventure Zone and sign in for one (or both) of the FREE riding experiences. Both will be running all day on Saturday and Sunday, so don’t miss this brilliant opportunity to have a go at off-road riding without getting yourself too caked in mud.

There will also be a stack of stands selling awesome off road kit and accessories.
