Overview

The national Trans and XDURO bikepacking reliability trials are held on first full weekend of the month from April to September. They are repeated at the same time each year (although the early years may see some variation as we find our feet).
In addition there are a few one-day XDURO rides which serve as tasters for the longer challenges.
