Organised by Bikesafe and Northamptonshire Highways, Bikesafe is a police led motorcycle initiative that is run by most forces throughout the UK. This year it is held in Northamptonshire and at the iconic Rockingham Circuit in Corby. Rockingham’s wide-range of facilities and industrial-style backdrop make it a unique venue and we are welcoming some great riders, themed activities and attractions on the day.

Riders will be welcomed to the circuit, with its wide range of facilities and industrial backdrop, by the BikeSafe team and start their experience with a road route assessed ride.

Following a debrief it’s time to join the prestigious California Superbike School where your coach will talk to you through the twists and the turns of Rockingham's inner track and then it's out onto the track to experience the challenges and the fast direction changes that make this an intense and thrilling experience. Rockingham's American oval circuit is unique in the UK and one of only two speedways in Europe.
