The 2013 event is only just over but if you’re thinking of entering next year’s event you’d better get ready…

2014 DATES & DETAILS

 ENTRY APPLICATION FOR MAVIC® TRANS-PROVENCE 2014 WILL OPEN ON MONDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2013!

The 2014 package price is €1495. For this you get the experience of a lifetime consisting, in physical terms, of:

• Airport transfers to the start and from the end of the event
• A fully signposted 6-day route which passes through a huge variety of different landscapes and containsmore singletrack than any other 6-day MTB event. Detailed route description booklet plus GPS data for navigational back-up.
• Groundbreaking multi-timed-stage-per-day format which creates excitement, but equally a friendly and sociable rally-style ambience.
• Vehicle uplifts each morning to the trailhead (intended to maximise the quantity of singletrack we are able to cover daily, not make the route “easier”)
• Use of the Mavic® Trans-Provence event standard 1-man tent and thick air mattress
• Use of all campsite facilities at the quality sites at which our nightly camps are located
• Transportation of your kit bag –clothing and bike equipment– from one camp to the next (i.e. your stuff will be waiting for you when you arrive at camp each afternoon).
• Break-down, transportation and set-up of your tent and air mattress, from one camp to the next (i.e. your tent will already be set up when you arrive at camp each afternoon)
• 3 meals prepared for you each day: breakfast, lunch (+ free-choice feeding station snacks) and dinner (with wine) cooked by one of the best catering teams in the MTB holiday/event business
• Snacks and rehydration on arrival at camp
• Care and attention from professional medical staff, where necessary
• Neutral technical support (+ emergency parts) from a team of pro mechanics, courtesy of MAVIC
