Latest TrailMasters News:
The new Ritchey TrailMasters powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport is only a few weeks away and we have some exciting news for all the pairs riders out there.
Originally the TrailMasters was open for solo riders and teams of three only but due to popular demand we have now added the pairs option to the line-up as well.
So from now on you can either enter the event as a solo, a pair or a team of three. All three are available as open (for riders from 18years upwards – average age below 40years) and vets (for riders from 18years upwards – average age above 40years).
The main difference between the three types is the way they are timed in the special (timed) stages. Where solo riders obviously get scored on their individual time, pairs get scored on the average time of the two riders and teams (of 3) will get scored on the average time of the two fastest riders in the team.
For the teams that could mean that a mechanical or a ‘not so perfect’ run of one of the team members is not going to have a huge effect on the time in that particular special stage. And you can play more on the strengths or weaknesses of your team partners. So lots to think about!
If you have already entered and you would like to change to a pair – no problem just let us know via info@trailmasters.cc and we can change that on our list.
Other info on the event:

We also now that the ‘off the bike’ time is hugely important when staying away for the whole weekend and when possibly having your own support crew with you. See what we have planned for the Ritchey TrailMasters by going to the BACK AT BASE page.
