Triple crowns seem to be all the rage at the moment, so we thought we’d unashamedly jump on the bandwagon. However, the idea of a TPA Triple Crown is something that riders have whispered about for a while now: who will be the first person to complete all three events? This year it is looking […]
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.

As 2023 comes to a close, we can look back at an eventful (literally) year. With Mountains of the Merfynion making its debut, this year saw three events take place and almost 100 riders sign up. Some old faces returned and many new faces appeared, but all the riders came home with stories to tell.
Entries for Mountains of the Merfynion 2024 are now open! Like TPA24, entries are on a first-come basis. However, after the success of this year, we have increased the number of places to 50, so hopefully there will be room for everyone. Otherwise, the format for MOTM24 remains largely the same. There may be some small adjustments
