On August 17-19, the heart of Welsh mountain biking – Llanwrtyd Wells – will play host to cross-country enduro event, The Ritchey Trail Masters powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport.
The three-day event will see solo or team of three riders test themselves over three demanding days packed with classic cross-country trails and challenging timed sections. If you can’t commit to the three-day challenge, test yourself on the day ride on the Saturday.
When you’re not in the saddle, there are plenty of activities for your friends, family and support crew to enjoy including fun rides, test courses, films and kids’ activities. After the riding draws to a close for the evening there will be live music, on-site bar and loads more. Even better, the activities are included in the price of your entry fee.
For more information, advice and features check out the guidebook and book that all-important place, see www.trailmasters.cc
