23rd August

Week 34 - On Wheels

Malham Trailquest, 23rd AugustLevel of Fitness
Red. Reasonably fit mountain bikers, although this is a good event for those new to the activity

The Experience
A trailquest is a timed event where you try to cycle around as many control markers in a set time. At Malham you can chose between 2 hours and 4 hours and can take part solo or in pairs.  You get points for each control you visit and then the person or pair with most points wins. 

There are many different categories so you compete only against people of a similar age. If you are late back then you start to lose those points you spent such a hard time gaining.

They are really good fun events and you can take things as seriously as you like.  One of the great things about the Malham Trailquest is that it happens alongside the show, for which you get free entry.  This can make it a great full day out with plenty for the kids to do whilst one of the adults is out competing.

Have a go
The show is held on the Saturday of August Bank Holiday, 23 August in 2008. It is best to pre-enter the event, but you can enter of the day if you want.

You will need a mountain bike, together with basic repair kit and safety equipment, and plenty to drink and eat.
