Merida Bikes MTB Marathon - Builth Wells (Summer)
Event Date: 6 July 2008
Now going into her ninth season the Merida Bikes MTB Marathon Series (formally known as the '100' series) was first launched in Builth Wells - the unofficial capital of the UK mountain bike marathon scene. And being the unofficial capital you deserve to hold at least two events in the Merida Bikes MTB Marathon Series in one season. After the 1st event of the '08 marathon season, which is held in April the 'Summer' marathon in Builth is the original marathon and a 'direct ascendant' from the original Schwinn 100 event, which was run nine years ago just across the river from where the Builth Wells marathon is based now. Over the years the event has turned into a series, which now features 6 events all over the country with 4 different mountain bike marathon courses to choose from and new for 2008 the GORE BIKEWEAR road sportives. For 2008 John has once more worked on the course and has managed to make them just that little bit better and interesting so that even the most hardened Builth Wells rider will be thoroughly 'entertained' throughout their ride.
