The first ever Ritchey TrailMasters powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport is only a little more than a month way. Difficult to imagine, as it doesn’t really feel that the summer has even started yet.

Preparations are in full flow and we have recently put the design for the TrailMasters jersey together. Here you go!!

To make sure that we get the right size to everyone and to also keep the level of ‘spare jerseys’ to a minimum we have gone for a new way of ordering the jerseys.

If you enter before the 16th July (has just been extended from the 12th) then you will receive your finishing jersey when you cross the final finish line on the 19th of August in Llanwrtyd Wells. If you haven’t entered by the 16th then you will get the chance to find out the right size for you at the end of the TrailMasters and we will then post your jersey to you around 4-6 weeks after the event.

If that is not an incentive to enter the event right now – we don’t know what is. So make sure you get your entry in before the 16th July to guarantee your finishing jersey to be handed to you when you finish!!

Here again what is included in the TrailMasters package (here the silver option for £225):
-       three days of fantastic trail riding including 6 special stages (incl. one night stage)
-       breakfast, lunch and dinner starting from Friday morning all the way to Sunday dinner
-       chip timing
-       medical cover
-       parking/camping for you and your support crew

-       extensive ‘off the bike’ program

Don’t forget we are open for solo / pairs and teams of three:
The TrailMasters is now open for solo riders, pairs and teams of three. So if you fancy doing the event on your own, together with your riding buddy of in a team of three  – the choice is yours. All three options ride the same distance over the weekend but the way they get timed on the special stages varies. Pairs will get positioned based on the average time of the two riders while teams of three will get ranked on the average time of the two fastest riders. This will give teams of three more flexibility when it comes to the strengths or weaknesses of the individual riders and should eliminate the effect of crashes and technical problems. Read the details here.
