New Full Distance Route

Hi All, Not long now and we have designed an new full distance route which takes in some amazing single track sections.  Don’t worry if you are not an experienced off-road rider as it is achievable for riders of all abilities.  Single track riding is SO much fun as long as you ride within your ability.

Also due to an infection in the forest all athletes young and old will need to wash thier bikes before leaving the race location to help prevent the spread of the disease.

Lastly due to the heatwave that we always have with Cymer triathlon!! please also bring insect replant to help keep our small friends away!!

Good luck with your final preperations.

See you soon!!!
