New clothing company Morvelo are behind the incredible design for the Championship and Rookie jerseys and are also sponsoring the Rookie category.

Yet more fantastic local support from the outdoor centre Rock UK, providing facilities in the arena and camping field and coming up with a few surprises and a bit of variety to spice up the race course.

USE will be topping up the prize pot with some rather lovely looking products. After 24 hours, your bike will need a bit of TLC and these spot prizes should have you both back, fighting fit and ready to go in no time.

Magnus Maximus Coffee, coffee of champions (and Magnus Backstedt) will be attending with an endless supply of the strong black stuff, available free to every rider for the duration of the event. We asked health and safety but they were against the idea of coffee intravenous drips...
