Mugdock MTB Orienteering Event: Sat. 20th April

  By

As mentioned at the AGM, we’re pleased to announce that GMBC are hosting the 2nd round of the Scottish Mountain Bike Orienteering Spring League, sponsored by Alpine Bikes, on Saturday 20th April at Mugdock Country Park.

If you are unfamiliar with MTB orienteering (called Trailquest in the past) then the objective is to visit as many of the 30 checkpoints as possible within the 3 hour time limit.  The event is within a defined area and a map and list of checkpoints will be provided on the day.  It’s up to you which route you ride so you take in as many checkpoints before your 3 hours is up.

The event is open to adults and children over the age of 15 (or over the age of 12 as part of a generations team).  You can enter as a solo or a pair.  There will be a fantastic selection of prizes & spot prizes for competitors.  The event is now available to enter via this BMBO page.

Prices to enter the event are as follows: Continue reading
