Black Mountains MBO - Monmouthshire 27

Embark on an exhilarating journey through the rugged terrain of South Wales at the Black Mountains MBO, part of the Welsh Border Area series. This unique mountain bike orienteering event welcomes riders from all ages and skill levels who are ready to explore off-road trails while navigating with a detailed OS map.
Scheduled for October 10, 2027, this event takes place in some of Wales' most picturesque landscapes including the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, Wye Valley, and Forest of Dean. Participants can choose between EBike or traditional analog courses, each offering a challenging mix of rugged paths and scenic vistas.
Upon arrival at registration from 9:30 to 10:15 am, you'll receive all necessary equipment including a waterproof OS map with marked checkpoints. Riders will have three hours to navigate through the course, planning their own routes to visit as many control points as possible before returning to base. For those without a map board, loaner options are available.
The day concludes in a warm hall where tea, coffee, sausage rolls, and cake await all competitors. Detailed information about rules, registration specifics, and event logistics will be distributed two weeks prior via email for registered participants.
