Trailquests


​Trailquests or Mountain Bike Orienteering is for anyone who loves being outdoors, likes a challenge, enjoys riding new areas and wants friendly low key events. You can take part if you have a bicycle, a helmet, and a team mate!


Teams take part in the same event and course, and each rides to their own chosen limit.  You can stop and enjoy the views, take a photo or two,  or ride your legs off, you choose.

You are given a 1:50000 Map with 20 controls. The controls range in points from 10 to 50.   Once you 'dib-in' you have 3 hours to get as many points as possible.  You choose which ones and which route you wish to take.   But remember for every minute you are late you lose 5 points! 

Teams (of pairs) can be male, female or mixed.  The events normally take place on a Sunday with the start open between 09:30 - 10:30, and each team given 3 hours to gain as many points as possible. 

Details of future events will be posted shortly with online entry and further details available via SI Entries.  A link to the event on SI Entries will always be posted, but if not registered with the SI Entries set-up get yourself signed-up and keep your SI number handy.

What to Expect

Our Trailquests have 2 aims:
  1. You have fun
  2. You stay safe

​If you haven't tried one you are definitely missing out!  The courses are prepared to suit every type of rider, from the seasoned adventure racer to the newbie cyclist.  If you want a work out you can have 3 hours of intensive interval training, or just get out and explore new and interesting locations - the choice is yours!!
​
Plus there is our in-house catering team with refreshments available back at the finish and the usual post event banter!
