What a week. It has been really great for us and we hope that was enjoyable for everybody taking part. We have just about made it home and are now back in marathon mode but before we disappear from the TransUK business for a few weeks we would like to send a few words out.

A Big Thanks!
We would like to thank everybody involved for their help and support in particular our sponsors Chain Reaction Cycles, Merida Bikes, High5, Buff, Gore, Our Scottish Border, BeOne, Mercedes Benz Vans, What Mountain Bikes (for the drinks), Schwalbe, the Mix, the Forestry Commission and the 7Stanes. Only with their help we were able to put this together. Besides that I would like to thank our team again who did a fantastic job throughout the week and finally a big thanks goes out to you the riders and made the event as special as last year’s TransWales.
