The second day of the MERIDA EX powered by @RideShimano was a big one! Despite the conditions moving from dry and dusty to somewhat damp and drifty, the riders got stuck in for a whole nine stages of racing, with the Exmoor trails delivering plenty of fun. With some big climbs and equally big descents, the riders were pushed to the limit, but as ever, they were rewarded with hot showers followed by a sit down dinner at the end of the day.

Co-sponsor @RaceFaceMTBtv also provided plenty of giggles during dinner thanks to their Lumberjack competition, with the best woodcutter outfit rewarded with a chance at the challenges that would deliver a prize win.

What is the MERIDA EX?

Over 80 riders, 23 stages, over 100km of distance and over 4000m of climbing plus great food and drink, stunning scenery, uplifts for the biggest climbs, plenty of social, plenty of fun, and plenty of good times with good friends both old and new.

Tea stops, dinner parties, lumberjack shirts and BBQs! THE MERIDA EX, presented by Shimano is back ... and boy, oh boy it is it something special!
