The Trek Bicycle sponsored Bike Night is just part of a huge lineup of events happening at the Kendal Mountain Festival, with everything from mountain biking and outdoor swimming to mountaineering and snowsports over a long weekend of the 15th to the 18th.

Bike night has quickly proved itself a sell-out crowd favourite, however, and this year hosts Lee Craigie and Rob Warner will be on hand to steer the evening's entertainments. they're promising unseen content, bike films from around the world, inspirational speakers and leading filmmakers, plus the chance to win plenty of shiny kit.
