What is It About

Mountain bike orienteering (MTB orienteering or MTBO) is the outdoor sport that combines mountain biking with map reading and navigation skills. Riders use a map to navigate through a series of control points at locations. Events are held in public forest reserves, on private properties and urban sites like universities, anywhere with a complex track network. Competitors must use their navigation skills to determine the best route to reach control point and achieve the lowest overall time.
