As we enter a new year, it’s time to look back on the events last year. As ever, it is the stories from the riders that stand out – often influenced by a logic that only makes sense when riding far, fuelled on carbs and short on sleep. From helpless livestock and bionic body parts […]
WC26 applications have been open for two weeks now. The weighted lottery promotes diversity of all kinds, but it is the increased number of women and non-binary riders that is often highlighted. 2026 will be our sixth year running events and – as a majority women organising team – we can attest that it remains
Applications for next year’s Wild West Country are now open, with entries distributed via a weighted lottery again this year. The lottery will remain open until 22:00 on Sunday 16th November, so you have plenty of time to apply. As ever, we encourage anyone tempted by the lure of ultra endurance cycling to consider applying.
MOTM25 saw two riders complete our Triple Crown. Paddy Cope took the throne – becoming the first rider to finish all of three of our events – with Joe Tresadern not too far behind.

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to look back on the events this year. As ever, it is the stories from the riders that stand out – both of triumph and disaster. From imploding bikes to food hygiene fails, our riders have seen it all. Every rider tackles the challenges that are thrown
Christmas is a time of giving, so we thought we’d give people a few last-minute ideas. Whatever your faith – or lack of, we can all connect with the idea that Christmas highlights what we’re fortunate to have and what others lack. With that in mind, here are our suggestions. Pay forward a meal at The
As the newest addition to our roster of events, Mountains of the Merfynion continues to evolve and grow. In 2025, the route will start and finish in Wales for the first time, allowing us to shorten the loop by around 200km. Fear not, pretty much all of the best riding remains. We hope that this
Entries for the fifth edition of The Perfidious Albion are now open. TPA25 will be largely unchanged from this year, with only a slight change of finish location. We have reverted to the original pre-summer-holiday dates, which I’m afraid is bad news for any teachers but good news when it comes to accommodation options. It
Applications for WWC25 are now open. You can enter the lottery using the form at the bottom of the page here. You can read more about the weighted lottery system here. The lottery will remain open until 22:00 on Saturday 30th November. We will announce who has been successful by Friday 6th December. We encourage everyone to apply and
