The Festival is a 10 day celebration of bikes and the people who love to ride them: It's all about the bike...and more!

It is packed with events for both weekend warriors and hardened pros. Whether you're a cross country rider, downhiller, freerider, roadie or a bit of all four - this Festival has something for you.

Below is a random selection of events during the 10 day celebration, but just go the the full Festival programme page, or pick a day, and you're sure to find something which takes your fancy.

With over 25 events from films, to concerts, photography competition, social rides, ladies rides, kids rides, fun races and down-to-business races - it's all biking all the time, just the way we like it.

Queenstown has more than 110kms of established cross country trails, a gondola serviced bike park, world class road rides and more restaurants, bars, wineries and places to stay than you can think of.

All that's missing is you...

RIDE ON!   PASCALE AND GEOFF
