Competitors must visit a number of\r\ncontrol points marked on the ground in the shortest possible time aided only by\r\nmap and compass.

Mountain biking and navigational skills\r\nshall be tested in such a way that navigational skill is the decisive element. The\r\ncourse shall be completed by the cyclist riding, carrying or pushing his\/ her\r\nmountain bike.
