XTERRA 50k & 100k Mountain Bike Enduro
This is one of the 'individual component' Xterra events, a 50k and a 100k mountain bike enduro run on the world-class MTB trails in the Afan Forest Park (aka Afan Argoed) on 18th August.
The Glyncorrwg visitor centre is the starting point for both routes and from there it follows Afan's stunning singletrack and fast fire roads. We'd describe the 50k as challenging and the 100k as gruelling (we've been there...). Read more on Xterra.co.uk.
Bike drop
To help you getting your mountain bike to South Wales it's possible to ship your kit ahead and collect it from our bike shop which is about 20 minutes from Afan Forest Park. We'll receive your bike, assemble it and have it ready to race for you. Call us on 01792 799508 for more information, or email info@tredz.co.uk. This service will also be available for the Xterra UK Triathlon in September. (It's not too late to enter by the way.)
Xterra UK Championships training
Athletes preparing for the Xterra UK Championships can still take part in a special training weekend. 'Driven to Tri' training camp for XTERRA UK is run by double Xterra winner Julie Dibens and World Cup mountain biker and top Xterra athlete Sam Gardner. It's held on 11th & 12th August 2007 and will let you experience the course among loads of other activities.
There's a great article on Tri247.com about the Xterra bike course where aforementioned Julie and Sam, joined by top athlete Harry Wiltshire, check out the bike course and provide a tasty preview!
