With just a week to go to until the UCI Mountain Bike Masters World Championships, which precedes the UCI MTB Trials World Championships, organisers and visiting riders give an unqualified thumbs up to the tracks and the infrastructure that has spring up at the Cascades MTB park course.

With work running like clockwork thus far the half-finished structures that have been erected have already created quite a stir amongst riders currently adding the final touches to their preparations on course.

“The biggest logistical challenge these two events present is the need for us to get everything set up for the elite competition before the masters programme gets underway,” explained event coordinator Stu Berry.

“The setup has gone very quickly though and we’re extremely happy with how things have progressed thus far.”

“There was a group of 10 Spanish masters competitors that came to have a look at things on Tuesday and they could not believe how good the venue was looking already.

“They commented on the visual appeal of the trials course, they went for a few laps of the masters cross country course and loved it and were extremely positive about their experience of everything relating to the masters event thus far which is very encouraging.”
