Stoke Park hosts Guildford Cycle Festival

Hundreds of spectators are expected to flock to Sunday’s Guildford Cycle Festival.

The free event takes place at Northgate, Stoke Park, between 10am and 5pm and includes a display by mountain bike stunt team Savage Skills, a guided bike ride and expert advice on safety and maintenance.

It is part of Surrey County Council’s Travel SMART scheme, which aims to promote healthier and more eco-friendly methods of transport, and comes a week after the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey events in the county.

Mike Goodman, Surrey County Council’s Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “We’re particularly keen for new cyclists and people getting back on their bike after a few years to come along to the festival.”
