John Lloyd Racing Events 2010


For 2010 J Lloyd Racing Events Ltd are presenting a wide range of MTB events.
 


Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Series


J Lloyd racing organise a series of mtb marathons, including the Chain Reaction Cycles Mtb Series.
After years of watching the development of the MTB Marathon Series (which is going into its 11th season) for the last few years Chain Reaction Cycles (www.chainreactioncycles.com) has finally taken on the popular MTB Marathon series and will be the title sponsor for at least 3 years. The new Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Marathon Series (or CRC MTB Marathon Series) will carry on where the 2009 season left off but will also introduce lots of new riders and ideas to the events.

The Kona Mash Up 2010 Series

They also organise a series of Downhill verses Enduro Events - the Kona Mash up Series.
If you haven't heard of it before, the Kona Mash Up was first introduced in 2008 introducing a whole new and exciting event format, mixing downhill, trail riding and cross country aspects, creating events which breaks up traditional riding boundaries. Stirring a two wheeled culture clash JLR have laid down the ultimate challenge to unite riders across the board. From XC whippets to the most technically gifted downhill riders and every breed of trail warrior in-between, these races break down traditional riding boundaries, encouraging a step out of regular comfort zones to go against the clock on seminal sections at each location.

TransWales

Along with all this they also organise the Trans Wales, a 7 day MTB stage event.

For years mountain bikers have been searching for new challenges. From a temporary disinterest in cross country racing, an ever growing market of long distance endurance events has evolved. Primarily their attraction is that they demand more than just sheer brutal power for 1.5 hours, the key to their success are tactics and pacing and the riders’ right frame of mind. Endurance events or mountain bike marathons have been around in the UK now for more than half a decade and have turned the scene and the industry around. What used to be a sport for just a few ‘race horses’ is now a regular event happening throughout the UK. This trend towards mass participation events for all levels of riders, enables people of varying abilities to overcome their barriers, achieving new personal goals and simply follow a healthy and active lifestyle. They also offer the chance to get away from it all, relax and have fun. With this in mind JLR created the first ever ‘TransWales’ in 2006 and are continuing running the TransUK in either Wales or Scotland. For 2010 the TransUK events are staying in Wales for the 4th ‘issue’ of the TransWales - 7 day long Mountain Bike stage challenge. The event is a mixture of linking stages and special stages and can be tackled in either pairs or as solo riders. Not just endurance but also tactics, the right equipment and an ability to pace yourself will be key to enjoying as well as to winning this event.
