A nine-time British Enduro Championship winner, plus one of the scene’s biggest characters, means the upcoming Classic Dirt Bike Show sponsored by Hagon Shocks returns with a bang after its Covid-enforced break.

Returning to the Telford International Centre over the weekend of February 12-13, the event will once again draw in the biggest names from the off-road scene with two off-road legends being confirmed as the guests of honour.

Eldest son of Pete (manufacturer of Dalesmans in the 1960s) and elder brother to multi Enduro world champion Paul, Derrick Edmondson is a nine-time class winner of the British Enduro Championship, BBC TV Kickstart trials rider, plus mechanic/mentor to two of the world’s greatest trials riders. Derrick will be interviewed throughout the weekend as the commentator delves into his career.

There’s perhaps no bigger character in the off-road scene than Arthur Browning, who has also been confirmed as a star guest for the show. Tall in the saddle and big with the stories, Arthur has done it all: One of the all-time great Enduro riders (nine golds over a 16-year span), a top-flight scrambler, a professional speedway rider for nine years, a British championship grass tracker and a pretty good trials rider who once got runner-up in a world championship round. Arthur will also be on stage over the weekend sharing his classic tales during his extensive career.

Europe’s largest off-road show will be held at the Telford International Centre from Friday, October 28 – Sunday, October 30, 2022 and is set to feature new bike and product launches for 2023 as well as top-notch entertainment.

Before that, the acclaimed Classic Dirt Bike Show will take its usual place at the venue, being staged next year on February 12-13.

Event planner Nick Mowbray says: “We are delighted to be moving the International Dirt Bike Show to the Telford International Centre, which we know extremely well from hosting our annual Classic Dirt Bike Show. Our new venue will allow the show to expand and provide further opportunity for new features.”

Nick added that while it was important to maintain the grass roots of the event, moving to this practical and popular venue will allow the show to develop and bring in new elements which will all be revealed in due course. Focusing the action on Telford, located in the heart of the UK, means easy access for dirt bike fans from across the country.

The link was established in the 1950’s between a jukebox playing rock n’ roll and personal transport. For young Brit kids this was a motorbike, and the Ace Cafe was home to these new machines and their soundtracks – the cafe racer had arrived!

Come along and celebrate the 20th anniversary this year of the Ace, having fully re-opened in 2001, at the cafe’s annual Ton Up Day on Sunday 7th November and listen, revel and be immersed in a mix of the best rock and roll and rockabilly, blended with the London sub-culture sounds, broadcasting 24/7 on Ace Cafe Radio.

On 25 October 2021, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expanded from central London up to (but not including) the North Circular and South Circular roads.

The new zone is 18 times the size of the central London zone and now covers 3.8 million people.

The ULEZ is central to the Mayor of London’s plans to improve Londoners’ health. It will clean up the city’s toxic air, which leads to the early deaths of thousands of people every year.

Most vehicles driving in the ULEZ must meet tight emission standards or pay the daily charge.

The ULEZ is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round (except Christmas Day).

To check whether your vehicle is liable to the ULEZ charge look here

Ace Cafe London is NOT within the ULEZ - but if you travel to or from the Ace Cafe from within the North Circular or South Circular Road , you could be liable to pay.
