2009 saw the second successful season and the extension of the Kona Mash-Up events to two events, and it’s back for 2010 now with three events; a summer and winter round at the birthplace of the Mash-Up, Glyncorrwg, plus the new addition taking place in Glentress.
The Kona Mash-Ups still maintain their concept of mixing timed with un-timed sections and riders will still go through the timed sections as fast as they can with their accumulated time determining their position within the event but the details at the two venues differ just a touch.
The two events in Glyncorrwyg, Wales will have two categories; enduro and technical. Meanwhile, Glentress, Scotland will see one category. This is due to the high density of quality trails and the endless ways of linking them up.
The trails at Glentress are put together so that riding certain sections multiple times is very straight forward. So if you messed up your 1st run or think that you can do better after a couple of training runs then simply go back to the start and give it another go. Riders will be timed on six sections plus the timed run if they want to be included in this stand alone stage.
Kona Bicycles is once again the title sponsor for this original event. For 2010 the Kona Mash-Ups are being supported by Mercedes-Benz and the Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport van. This versatile vehicle delivers on style without compromising practicality. The Vito Sport will be on site at the event, showing off its assets and why it’s got the mountain bikers’ seal of approval. Besides Kona Bicycles and Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport, Skyline Cycles, The Hub in the Forest, Sombrio, Torq, Saris, Cycle-ops, Ritchey, The Dropoff Café and MBUK are supporting the event, and will contribute to the huge prize pot.
Entry for the 3 events is open now. Please go to the entry form page on the Kona Mash-Up website, www.konamashup.co.uk, to secure your entry. Entries are limited and day entries will only be available if capacity has not been reached.
