Beijing's International Fun Week (October 20, 2013)

[Lao Jia Hou]

** Cancelled ** (reference post 16)

The first World's Motorcycle Event will be held on October 20, 2013 in Fangshan District, Beijing (Western mountains of Beijing).

The press release indicates that there will be a 210 km ride on G108 (nice road), culminating in an evening of entertainment.



I am not sure what else happens during the "week" (only October 20 is mentioned).

This could be an interesting event, given the continuing crackdown in Beijing (case in point, the 110 HD anniversary being busted), and the fact that the planned route crosses the Hebei border (where there is sometimes a manned checkpoint).

I've been to a couple of Chinese "motorcycle events" and they are definitely more interesting (and certainly better attended) than the two Foreigner "motorcycle events" I have seen "organized". Plus, as this is the First World Event (I guess they have not heard of any other events outside China), it might be worth attending.
