2026 Cookstown 100 Rider Entry Fees
Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club’s groundbreaking announcement for competitors ahead of the 104th Cookstown ‘100.’
Christmas is a season of giving, and the Cookstown & District Motor Cycle Club (MCC) is proud to announce it has a special gift for competitors ahead of next year’s Cookstown “100” road races.
As the longest-running national road racing organisation – second only to the Isle of Man TT – the Cookstown MCC has built a legacy of resilience and innovation in motorsport.
From the early days, when race legends such as Mike Hailwood, Philip McCallen, Robert Dunlop, and Michael Dunlop each scored their first road race wins at Cookstown, to pioneering initiatives like the “Man of the Meeting” award in 1974 (£100.00), the first club to allow Robert Dunlop to return to racing, following his 1994 IOM TT crash, and hosting the only road race worldwide during the 2020 pandemic, the Cookstown club has consistently sought ways to support riders and the sport.
In 2026, the 104th Cookstown “100” will feature a game-changing initiative—competitors will receive ‘FREE’ and ‘Discounted’ entry fees. This means no one will pay a full entry fee to compete at the Cookstown “100”!

Prepare a Motorcycle for Winter Storage : How To
Prepare a Motorcycle for Winter Storage : The Ultimate Guide to Winter Motorcycle Storage :
As the days get shorter and the mercury on the thermometer dips, the inevitable time has come to put your motorcycle away for winter.
Don’t just toss a sheet over it and walk away! Proper preparation is crucial to ensure your bike emerges in spring ready to ride, looking perfect and not needing a major overhaul.
This guide covers everything you need to do, from cleaning to fuelling and fluid management as well as what I feel as the most important think for any bike over the winter – the application of ACF-50.
Step 1: The Deep Clean : 🧼
Before any protective measures can be applied, your bike must be spotless. Dirt, road salt, and grime are your enemy; they trap moisture and accelerate corrosion.
- Wash Thoroughly: Give your motorcycle the best wash of its life. Use a quality cleaner and a soft sponge. Pay special attention to the underside, swingarm, wheels, and any hard-to-reach crevices where crud hides.
- Dry Completely: This is non-negotiable. Use a microfibre towel, an air blower, or take it for a very short, slow ride (5-10 minutes) to let engine heat evaporate water from tricky spots like the exhaust headers and electrical connectors.
🧼 What Cleaner? My personal recommendation for a general purpose motorcycle cleaner is SDOC100. It is available in a 750ml spray bottle, but the real value is in the 5 litre drum. It is excellent stuff and eats through dirt and grime with very little effort needed. It is expensive stuff but well worth it, and five litres will last a considerable period of time.
