Course and event details:
Our friends from the North Wales Mountain Bike Association have been adding new sections to the various courses and not forgetting the more or less completely new 50km course. As at all the other 2007 Merida Marathon events there will be 4 different course lengths on offer. You can find the course details/profiles at www.mtb-marathon.co.uk. The Ruthin round of the Merida Bikes MTB
Marathons Series ’07 is supported by the

Venue, registration and timetable:
The Ruthin round of the Merida Bikes MTB Marathon Series is again based at the Rugby Club in Ruthin which will be signposted from Friday afternoon onwards. You can find the Rugby Club by using the postcode LL15 2AA on your GPS or multimap.
The registration will open at 12pm (noon) on Saturday and will stay open till 8pm then will re-open on Sunday morning from 7am – 9am followed by the start of the final round at 9.30am. Please note that the start is 30minutes earlier than usual due to the days getting shorter.

The campground is open from Friday evening till Monday morning, so why don’t you make a proper weekend of it. Besides the Merida Bikes MTB Marathon there is lots of 1st class riding to be had around the Clwydian Range check www.ridetheclwyds.com or if you are looking for some trail centre riding then maybe have a go at the trails in hearby Coed Llandegla Forest, we rode there earlier in the year and had a great time on the singeltrack.
