The Transpyr looks a bit non-technical.
The mtbmarathon events on the other hand look great.

the Norwegian one is Offroad Finnmark, based out of Alta in the north of Norway
there's a week long stage race, or a 700km one stage race or a 300 km version.
Gotta do it with a partner and you need to navigate as well. Its held in the summer so 24 hour daylight

Gutted about transwales. Had penciled that in for 2013.

Just been reading through this thread, lots of events on here which i'd love to have a go at! This might be premature midlife crisis on the way, but at 36, I reckon if I don't start doing things like this soon, it won't happen at all!?
It strikes me that there are a fair few people, (like me!) who would like to do a longer stage event but don't have a group ready to do these things.
Anyone interested in making up a "team" for a few events over a season? I'd love to do some single day events, such as the CRC marathons, then build up to short multi day, such as The Bearded Man/Red Kite and then do a longer multi day event?
If anyone is interested, give me a shout. (email in profile). It would be good to have a "pool" of people, as no-one can usually commit to everything. I live in the South East, but that doesn't exclude anyone- we all travel to do the events after all... This could be a good motivator during the winter too, if there's an email list/etc on the way round?

I had a good chat with John yesterday, He has some real good ideas to replace the Trans Wales for 2012, some of the riding hes talking about is without doubt some of the best to had in the UK. Its possible it could be based at one place and have 1/2/3 days riding depending on what you would like to do, with timed sections. time of year will be August and hes is currently putting plans into place.. The prizes looks to be some of the best for many years. Im not sure when it will officially announced,But Im sure it will be worth the wait.
