Women In Moto Festival 17-18 August
Women in Moto Festival takes place at Uttoxeter Race course on the 17 ā 18 August. The festival celebrates women across the motorcycle industry, from everyday riders to female industry champions with a place to unite and inspire.
This is the Forth year that the festival has taken place and more than 1600 riders will descend upon the race course for workshops, guest speakers and inspiration talks. The festival is the epitome of inclusivity and is open to all riders, with the founder understanding that a large proportion of women get involved with biking because of male partners or family. This is a festival with family at the heart of it, the Biking Family!
Women in Moto have teamed up with Honda, who bring along theirĀ āRide Freeā show event, it gives showgoers the chance to ride a bike with little to no experience, opening up the show up to complete beginners. As the festival has grown over the years they now welcome more test rides with V-Moto Soco, the creation of an Arena for police displays and skills games combined with āSit down sessionsā- where informal chats takes place regarding confidence, bike security and much more.
New for this year, the Adventure Zone is the latest addition to the action-packed event! Itās a active area encompassing adventure travel with hints and tips from some of the leading ladies in the ADV sector.
Speaking with Founder Lindsey about the origins of the festival, She had this to say ā Ā I found my journey through the motorcycling experience was pretty poor- limited kit for my body type, being mostly ignored on the CBT and forced to do an auto CBT, not able to find female bikers to share my experiences with. I understood that a lot of the time women get into biking because of male partners or family, so I didnāt want to discourage those supportive people from coming along. I wanted to even out the sexism in the industry, not create a barrierā
Superbike News will be along to the Women in Moto festival and we look forward to showcasing the event across our social channels during the Festival.
