Merida Bikes TransWales ’08 – the 7 day MTB stage challenge 16th – 23rd August 2008  For years mountain bikers have been looking for new challenges. From a temporary disinterest in cross country racing, an ever growing market of long distance endurance events has devolved. Primarily their attraction is that they demand more than just sheer brutal power for 1.5 hours, the key to their success are tactics and pacing and the riders’ right frame of mind. Endurance events or mountain bike marathons have been around in the UK now for more than half a decade and have turned the scene and the industry around. What used to be a sport for just a few ‘race horses’ is now a regular event happening throughout the UK. This trend towards mass participation events for all levels of riders, enables people of varying abilities to overcome their barriers, achieving new personal goals and simply follow a healthy and active lifestyle. They also offer the chance to get away from it all, relax and have fun. With this in mind we have created the first ever ‘TransWales’ (2006) and are continuing running the TransUK in either Wales or Scotland. For 2008 the TransUK events are going back to a new course in Wales for the 2nd issue of the TransWales - 7 day long Mountain Bike stage challenge. The event is a mixture of linking stages and special stages and can be tackled in either pairs or as solo riders Not just endurance but also tactics, the right equipment and an ability to pace yourself will be key to enjoying as well as to winning this event.
