Mud and Sweat Mountain Bike Adventure Race - Sweat Series 1
Length: 4 hours
Location: Cambrose-Bissoe Area
Mud and Sweat run Mountain Biking Adventure Events throughout the UK. Our events combine off-road mountain biking with the skill of navigating, for fast and fun adventure.
Events are usually held within forests and open countryside that contain a good network of tracks and paths, providing a variety of route choices. Each event has courses of different lengths, durations and are suited to a range of abilities - from those who want to test their riding skill through to those who would like to tour around on large tracks.
Each event is open to individuals, pairs and sometimes teams and families and follow a score format.
Participants will be given a pre-marked waterproof map, with all the checkpoints marked on it (each checkpoint has differing values), they must then navigate their way around as many of the checkpoints as possible within a time limit (Families have 1.5 Hours, Short Score have 2 Hours and Long Score have 3.5 Hours). The aim is to get the highest score possible within the time limit.
Mud and Sweat provide the maps, safety and event support and the electronic timing equipment (all our events utilise SportIdent) .... All you need to compete is a working bike, helmet, compass and sense of fun and adventure to work up a bit of Mud and Sweat!
The event is sponsored by Cotswold Outddoors and Big Peaks Adventure Store, who are providing the prizes for the winners in each category. All participants will also recieve a Cotswold Discount Voucher to use in store.
For more information and and an entry fee, please check out the website or our facebook page. Entry on the day is possible, subject to map availability.
