    Mountain Bike Orienteering?

    I’m thinking of doing my first MBO on Sunday.
    Has anyone done one and got any tips? It’s a 3 hour score, and I’ve done loads of day and 2 day MM and Mountain Trial, but am apprehensive regarding it.
    Got all the running kit, but not bike specific kit (other than a bike!)
    Thanks

    I did one several years ago. I think the only thing I got specifically for it was a waterproof map holder to attach to the handlebars, that can be rotated.

    Didn’t end up doing it, but hopefully do one mid-May in Holymoorside. I’m bodging a map holder out of cardboard, freezer bag and zip ties. Did think about using ply, but also thought about the consequences of falling off into it.
