We are bringing the Sunday MotoGP watch party back to Bike Shed for the 2026 Catalonia Grand Prix.
We will meet in Fountain Valley, ride north together, and roll into Bike Shed in time for the full Sunday program. This keeps the format simple: easy route, good venue, and a Sunday morning with the DROC crew around MotoGP.
Bike Shed will be running its full-service Brunch and Bar menus, and the races are streamed on their 15-foot H-D projector screen.
Bike Shed race schedule: Moto3 at 9:00 AM, Moto2 at 10:00 AM, and MotoGP at 11:00 AM.
