Organisers of the Gore Bike Wear TransWales today announced the launch of a new Mini TransWales, a shorter alternative to the full seven day challenge.
The Mini TransWales can be ridden over two durations. You can either join the event from the 14-18 August or from 18-21 August. The course will be exactly the same and you’ll enjoy the same finishing jersey, food, camping and facilities, but you’re just riding for a shorter duration.
The available categories are the same as for the seven day event and riders can enter as pairs or solos. We obviously make sure that we take you back to your car when your riding days are over.
How much does the Mini TransWales cost?
The Mini TransWales will be available in the same packages as you will find on the 7 day event.
14-18 August 2010 (starting from Builth Wells)
(Four days riding with approx. 300km with approx. 9,500m of climbing and 3 special stages)
- Bronze (including transfer back to your car): £ 215
- Silver (including transfer back to your car): £ 275
- Gold (including transfer back to your car): £ 330

Simply go to the entry page www.mtbtransuk.co.uk download an entry form, fill it in and send it with your cheque to the address on the form. Please cross which package you would like to enter and put the date of when you want to start your rider next to your package selection. Please make sure that you put your entry into the post as soon as possible as there are only limited spaces available.
Entries for 7 day event
However if you are still thinking of getting involved but you rather do the full 7 days (14-21st August 2010) then don’t worry – we still have all categories available. So if you are still looking for a suitable partner or need to make sure that you can get the time off – don’t worry you can still get in.
There are two ways of entering the GORE BIKE WEAR™ TransWales – you can either download an entry form from our entry page (www.mtbtransuk.co.uk) and send it through to us together with your payment or you can use the new online entry which you can find on the same page.
More Ladies please – lots of prizes to be won
We are looking in particular for more ladies teams to take part in the BUFF Open Female pairs category. It would be great to get some more teams into that one so that the category is more competitive. So maybe try to talk your female riding buddies into giving it a go. There is an over all prize fund of more than £10,000 in Gore Bike Wear, Exposure Lights products and cash to be won in the TransWales – so don’t miss out on this great opportunity.
