Happy birthday to one of the captains of the Woodcote ship.

Gareth Bright is celebrating his birthday by riding to Scarborough with about 20 other bikers, for their traditional annual trip to see Scarborough races this weekend.

It was like watching a kid in a sweet shop when his new LS2 Helmets UK helmet turned up. Probably his favourite present, much to his family’s dismay…

On a serious note, happy birthday Gareth. The Woodcote team wish you all the best. A legend event organiser and fantastic team leader.

What an incredible weekend.

ABR Festival is always a highlight of our year, but this one was extra special.

This year we:
• Doubled the number of manufacturers we supported from 3 to 6
• Assembled our biggest ever event team
• Became the largest single supplier of test rides across the entire festival

Behind those numbers were months of planning, recruiting, training, logistics and preparing everything needed to deliver 6 manufacturers’ test ride experiences - both on and off road.

Thank you to our incredible team. You worked through record breaking temperatures with professionalism, enthusiasm and plenty of smiles, making sure every customer enjoyed a safe, premium experience.

ABR isn’t just another event in the calendar. It’s where our whole team comes together to do what we love, work hard, have fun, and deliver events the Woodcote way.

Organising a team photo was the hardest part - like herding cats - so we had to take several to make sure we got everyone!

We’re still struggling to come to terms with the sad events of this year’s IOMTT and what has happened to our friend and colleague Maria Costello Racing, and her passenger Shaun.

Maria is a member of the Woodcote family and good friend to Gareth, so to hear the news of her devasting accident has shaken the whole team.

Gareth has messaged Maria every day since the accident to offer our support, keep her spirits up, and to let her know we are thinking of her.

Please donate if you can, to help her on her long road to recovery: https://gofund.me/4a2dd765f

Office expansion update… Biscuit now has his own window seat.

When we took on the office next door, we decided to do something a little different with the big windows.

The result is one very happy office dog and lots of people stopping to smile, wave and take photos.

We think Biscuit is enjoying his new role as Head of Security!

Still think this might be one of our best ideas yet.

We love seeing our roadshow calendar continue to grow, working with more incredible motorcycle brands and bringing riders together at venues full of personality.

We’re certainly clocking the miles up!
