Welcome to the Stans NoTubes Oktoberfest Powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport.

Following the successful running of the Oktoberfest for the last two years the slightly ‘Bavarian’ small brother of the Bristol Bikefest will return to Ashton Court on the 12th October 2013. We will again do our best to make 2013 even better and offer you the riders yet another enjoyable and challenging experience.

The 2013 event will be the third Oktoberfest and will once again utilise the much loved (and well tested as well as weather proof) Ashton Court Course. 

Feedback on the course (in particular over the rather wet summer of 2012) has been fantastic and we can be sure of one thing – doesn’t matter what the weather throws at the event the riding will be 1st class. New for 2013 will be the camp ground and event venue which will just very slightly move to the grounds of the Bristol Cathedral Choir School Playing Field.

The NoTubes Oktoberfest will return with all the Oktoberfest typical Bavarian undertones thrown into the mix… the signing on and bar team dressed in typical Bavarian costume, pretzels at the bar, Bavarian flags everywhere and to top it all off - oompah music in the background. 

And don’t forget that there is also the Ritchey Bristol Bikefest – the event that started all this more than 10 years ago. The Ritchey Bikefest will be back with its proven 12hr and 6hr format on will come to town on the 8-9th June 2013

The events:
Ritchey Bristol Bikefest: 8th-9th June 2013 GO>>
Stans NoTubes Oktoberfest: 12th October 2013 GO>>
VDO RunRider: 13th October 2013 GO>>

The venue (new for 2013):
The event will be based at the top part of Ashton Court, Bristol. As the racing starts at 9am or 1pm (if you are starting the second 4hr event), most riders arrive on Friday afternoon to check out the course (open from 5pm onwards) and to ease into an action packed cycling and camping weekend. As in 2012 there will be a DJ playing some tunes on Friday evening with a bar and caterers in the event village, ready to set you up for a weekend of flat out racing. Saturday night will see the main party live music / DJ and bar. 

For 2013 we have a new event venue and camping. The new setup is right next to the trail on the grounds of the Bristol Cathedral Choir School. This allows us to have camping and event village in one location and right next to the track. It also gives the event access to great shower and changing facilities.
