England-Wales-England: EWE. A multi-day mountain bike race in the UK.
Having raced the Tour Divide and Iditarod Trail Invitational, I’ve seen some amazing places and enjoyed racing through them.
The UK has plenty of amazing places, too. England-Wales-England is a race with similar ideals, but playing to the strengths of mountain biking in our country. A closer model than the Tour Divide would be the Colorado Trail Race: we don’t do giant empty dirt roads, but we do do engaging and challenging mountain biking. We do crazy weather. We do more remote than some people would think possible on a crowded little island.
Philosophy
This race is for the self-sufficient rider:
- No entry fee
- No prizes
- No marshalls
- No support
- No stages
This is a race. If you want to tour it, just download the route and ride it in your own time.
