Ride your way, and enjoy the scenic beauty of Suffolk.
The Pedal Suffolk Festival is situated at the spacious arena at Ipswich’s Trinity Park. A perfect venue for our celebration of cycling, having hosted rounds of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup and the annual home of the Suffolk Show. Across multiple events, we promise a weekend of cycling bliss, with road, retro and gravel riding, through scenic countryside, historic market towns, and picturesque trails.
A very warm welcome awaits you at our event village which will be the base for all riders across the weekend. There will also be plenty to see and admire around the event village, including Retro bikes and gear on display, cycle jumble, food vendors and evening cycling entertainment (more info on this soon!).
Whichever ride you enter, we are with you every step of way with fully signposted routes, peace of mind mechanical support, fully inclusive drinks and lunch stops plus our extraordinary bespoke medals and a free souvenir photo of your day out.
