Mountain bike orienteering is a version of our sport that's low-impact and great for anyone who can ride a bike.
Our Newcastle club puts on monthly "MTBO" events over summer - and offers free entry to first-timers.
The next day out is Sun Feb 13 at O'Donnelltown and all the details are on the Eventor page.
They also have a special deal for families and pairs, and provide basic coaching as part of the entry.
Newcastle has two MTBO courses you can do via the free MapRun app - see here for details.
The highlight of the year for MTBO will be the Australian championships in Newcastle from March 25-27. Newcomers are welcome to participate there, too. Entries will be opening soon.
