TransWales Mountain Bike Stage Race

The in 2006 launched TransWales managed to seamlessly slip the UK adaptation into the ranks of these high class events and has managed put the UK on the global ‘MTB Trans’ map. The 2006 event attracted a very broad spectrum of cycling and sports enthusiasts and found a worthy follow up event in the 2007 TransScotland and the 2008 and 2009 TransWales. You could find everything from mountain bike racer, marathon specialist, extreme tourer, adventure racer and lots of other general sports fanatics who have never spent countless hours in the saddle but are up for the big challenge.

The TransUK events have taken the concept of the ‘Trans’ events and applies it to the terrain and conditions we have in UK. Contrary to the afore mentioned events the TransUK events had a mixture of mostly off road run linking stages which are un-timed and special stages which are timed.

The GORE BIKE WEAR TransWales 2010 will follow the same concept. We are currently in the course planning stage but as it looks we will utilise once again some of the best welsh trail centres – either as special stages or part of linking stages. Keep an eye on the stage plan page where we will put any news and updates on the course. The 2010 course will get completely re-worked from the 2009 course without cutting out some of the great bits of trail the riders enjoyed so much in 2009.
