Pedal Suffolk Festival 2026

The Pedal Suffolk Festival is situated at the spacious arena at Ipswich’s Trinity Park – a perfect venue for a celebration of cycling, having hosted rounds of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup and the annual home of the Suffolk Show. TPR promise a weekend of cycling bliss, with road, retro and gravel riding, through scenic countryside, historic market towns, and picturesque trails.

A very warm welcome awaits you at our event village which will be the base for all riders across the weekend. There will also be plenty to see and admire around the event village, including retro bikes and gear on display, cycle jumble, food vendors and evening cycling entertainment (more info on this soon!).

PedalRetro (Pre-2000)

PedalRetro is a journey into our shared cycling history. Ride your retro machine on one of our four routes, display your beloved steed in our PedalRetro Show arena, or browse the largest assembly of Time Trial bikes from across the years – or do it all!

Pedal Suffolk Sportive (Road)

Join hundreds of riders and enjoy a tour of the heartlands of Suffolk with open skies, on beautiful scenic roads and rolling hills. With options from 25 to 100 miles, there is a route for every rider. Join us for a celebration of cycling with like-minded riders.

The Untamed – Suffolk (Gravel)

By popular demand and new for 2026 at the Pedal Suffolk Festival is The UnTamed – Suffolk. Get the best of both worlds with quiet country roads and peaceful off-road trails. Also, our riders will get exclusive access to a new bespoke-built off-road trail thanks to our friends and event partners at Twisted Oaks Bike Park.

Whichever ride you enter, we are with you every step of way with fully signposted routes, peace of mind mechanical support, fully inclusive drinks and lunch stops plus our extraordinary bespoke medals and a free souvenir photo of your day out.

Wait, there’s more!

PedalRetro Show – FREE TO ATTEND!

The PedalRetro Show is a showcase of pre-2000 bikes, kit, and memorabilia. Join us to meet friends from the past and connect with like-minded riders that share our passion.

We also plan to gather the biggest ever assembly of time-trialling bikes through the decades, from the fixed-wheel specials of the early days of the sport to the super lightweight drilled specials of the 60s, to the short wheelbase specials of the 70s and low-profile and carbon monocoques of the 80s and 90s.

Special Guests

We are excited to tell you that we have some special guests joining us on Saturday at Pedal Suffolk. Like the rest of us, they are enthusiastic about our shared passion for all bikes and will be joining us to view the exhibits, chat to guests and maybe even ride with us!

On Saturday evening, there will also be a ‘Pasta & Chat‘ presentation with an open Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to get an insight into the mind of one of cycling’s big names.

Cycle Jumble

As part of the PedalRetro Show, we will be hosting a cycle jumble for our riders and guests to peruse. Will you grab yourself a bargain or find the missing piece to your cycling collection? Join us and find out!
