Singletrackworld recently asked organiser Pat Adams, what makes Mountain Mayhem so special? He said:
“Our aim is to make all our competitors feel like they’ve achieved something. In a world where you can spend hours sitting in front of a computer, and you can ride a whole virtual Tour de France on a turbo trainer in your front room, there’s still room for a real challenge.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. See you there!
Mountain Mayhem takes place 17th – 19th June 2016 at Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire.
