What is Mountain Bike Orienteering?
The sport of MTB orienteering is a combination of riding skills and navigation to find a number of checkpoints (called controls) in unfamiliar terrain using a specially prepared map. Orienteering is an individual sport but participation in pairs or small groups is encouraged at the beginner level.
