Every event is different, whether due to the conditions, the characters or the competition. But each one is unique and memorable. Throughout our events, we take hundred – often thousands – of photos, which help capture just a fraction of what the riders experience. To relive an event, take a look at the Ride in Photos below.

Wild West Country 2024
2024 saw Wild West Country move to a new start and finish location at The Bike Drop, based within Brimscombe Mill, just outside Stroud. As well as this, the section of the route around the Isle of Purbeck was reworked, adding the dead-end toll road to beautiful Kimmeridge Bay as a new checkpoint.
After a cold spring, the good weather arrived just in time for WWC24. However, the change was so sudden that the riders found themselves riding in temperature 10-15 degrees warmer than the previous weekend.

Mountains of the Merfynion 2023
2023 was the first edition of Mountains of the Merfynion – a route through Wales that combines everything from hike-a-bike and single track to smooth forestry tracks and sweeping asphalt.
The route proved to be as challenging as predicted, with some very slow-going sections. But the riders were tested further by a number of diversions thanks to road closures. However, the weather at least remained favourable, allowing the riders to see Wales in all its glory.

The Perfidious Albion 2023
After two previous editions that were defined by scorching heatwaves, TPA23 bucked the trend and riders were treated to high winds and persistent rain for the first few days.
Fortunately, the introduction of a halfway checkpoint for the first time gave them something to aim for. And the woodburning stove proved surprisingly popular despite it being mid-July!
