Does anybody know yet what's happening with the events formerly known as the Meridas for 2010? There's no information on the mtb marathon website as yet, but it is a bit early.

Obviously they'll be get called something else as Merida isn't sponsoring them any more but is the format going to stay the same?

I heard rumours that the weekends would include other events such as downhilling or trials but no idea if there's any substance to that.

    thats a new one for 2010, i'd imagine they'll still have the usual day enduro on the sunday (well hope they do anyway!).
    the first weekend at builth wells has the night enduro as usual and again should have the day enduro on the sun.
    grassinton in yorkshire is a new venue so looking forward to that one
    cheers
