What is MTBO?
Over the coming weeks I will expand this page to become an explaination of all things that involve two wheels and orienteering
Mountain Bike Orienteering comes in two main forms in the UK.
Ultra Long Score events such as Trailquests and Adventure races take place over 2 to 6 hours and in the main use 1:50,000 or 1:25000 Ordnance Survey maps, modified if needed with corrections and notes.
Mountain Bike Orienteering in its pure form closely resembles its foot ‘O’ cousin with Classic, Middle, Sprint and Relay fixed order events with winning times between 15 and 100 mins depending on the format. It uses 1:15,000 orienteering maps with a symbol set change to indicate ridability.
