Kona Mash-Up - FAQ's Is there LIVE timing this year? Yes. We will have live timing due to the usage of fiber optic cables/wireless links on some sections. Other sections will be electronically or manually timed. Are you taking day entries? Providing that there are places left then yes. The entry is limited. Please keep your eyes on the event website and/or subscribe to the newsletter which will keep you updated. What sort of facilities will be available? The events have toilets, showers, camping, parking and bike washing facilities on site. Please make sure that you book your camping spot early as space is limited. Can I hire a bike at the MTB Centres? At Glyncorrwg, Skyline Cycles has a great fleet of hire bikes available. Please get in touch with the guys via www.skylinecycles.co.uk At Glentress Forest, the Hub in the Forest is a well established hire, service and repair company shop just on the edge of the event. To find out more and to check out their broad offerings please go to:www.thehubintheforest.co.uk We will also have a Kona display and test bikes at the events. Please check the news section and/or the newsletter for updates. Are there marshals on course? We will have marshals on course, which primarily give approaching riders an update of who is ahead of them in the next timing section. By giving the riders an update it will be less of a surprise to have riders in front of you. The marshals are also there to help when help is needed. If you come across anybody being in need please inform the nearest marshal so that they can phone for help. Do I have to stop when the timed section starts or/and finishes? Yes please. A few meters before the start of a timed section you will come across a timing marshal who will give you an update of whom is ahead of you in the timed section so that you can either wait a little bit longer before you enter the next section or be at least aware who you might come across. Also on some of the sections we want to mark your number board so that we can keep a record of what you have already done. What happens when someone is in my way or I am in someone’s way? If you are riding up to someone please warn him or her well in advance. If you are the person ‘in the way’ please give the faster rider way immediately so that it doesn’t affect their time. The same goes in the technical and down hill sections. Please respect each other at all times and only overtake when it is safe for everybody involved. What is happening on Sunday? The event officially comes to an end on Saturday night. We do however encourage people to stay till Sunday and enjoy another ‘non timed’ ride on the trails and maybe even try out one of the many test bikes on offer. Are there drink stations on course? Yes there are. We will have the main drink and refreshment station out on course. Depending on the conditions and the weather we will add further stations to the course. Are the courses and the timed sections marked? You will primarily follow the markers provided. We will however put extra markers up so that it becomes super clear where you should go. We will also put up signs warning you of the approaching start and finish of a timed section. At split points we will have marshals pointing you in the right direction. If you have any further questions that have not been answered here please drop us a mail to info@mtbtransuk.co.uk so that we can shed some light on your concerns and also put it up on this FAQ page. Thanks!! |
