Mountain mayhem

THE time for training is over. The time for talking is over. It's Mountain Mayhem this weekend at last and we are riding for the top event sponsor - Original Source.

We are a team of around 30 in all and the excitement is beginning to mount, with last minute phone calls about who is taking what and who can car share with whom.

Original Source Mountain Mayhem is a 24 hour mountain bike endurance event for teams and soloists.  From its humble beginnings back in 1998, the event has grown and developed over the years to become the biggest and best 24 hour mountain bike endurance event in the World. 

With thesupport of Original Source, 2009 is set to be the best Mountain Mayhem to date with 2500 competitors which is made up from 450 teams & 150 soloists all being watched by 15,000 spectators and supporters.

The event is held in the stunning grounds of Eastnor Castle Deer Park in the heart of the Malvern Hills, with an approximately 9 mile long course designed to be testing and rewarding for a wide range of abilities, from plucky have-a-go riders through to National Champions and Olympians.

In addition to the year’s most hotly anticipated and toughest contested racing, Original Source Mountain Mayhem offers a huge amount more.

On Friday 19th June our Dirt Demo Weekend begins, the largest mountain bike demo in the country, where you can test ride the latest bikes from the top manufacturers in the land for free.  We have a vast trade village full of displays & shops as well as free activities for all the family, including the Mini Mayhem children’s bike skills course.

See you there!!
