The Kona BikeFest MTB race is one of the biggest enduro events in the UK, and for 2010 we are excited to announce a second event at the infamous Bristol venue. The Kona Oktoberfest takes the winning BikeFest formula, with added Bavarian twists for both competitors and spectators.

The Oktoberfest is a one day event which will take place on Saturday the 16th October, with some first class racing followed with some chilling and partying after the event. The Oktoberfest will have an 8 hour event as well as two 4 hour events. This should give everybody the chance to find the perfect lengths for their final MTB event of the season.
All three events we will have solo, pairs and teams of 3-4 rider categories – all available in Teams Open, Team Old Gits (average age of riders needs to be 40+ years) and Single Speed.

So if you’re looking for the perfect end to the 2010 events season, check out the Kona Oktoberfest. http://www.bike-fest.com/

To keep the driving/riding ratio almost sane I have to do the 4hr enduro.
