MotoFest in partnership with E.ON Drive is getting powered up for Ride-In return at 2022 event
It will be two wheels leading the charge at this year’s MotoFest in partnership with E.ON Drive, with the traditional ride in from the beautiful Draycote Water to the main Sprint Circuit again providing the curtain raiser for the festival.
As with 2021 and 2019, it will be the motorcycles taking the lead with organisers hoping to attract over 500 classic and modern two wheeled machines to kickstart the weekend’s activities.
Riders are invited to join organisers on Saturday 10th September at Draycote Water, Rugby from 7.30am for a picture-perfect ride into Coventry.
