Mountain Biking - Short Courses

What is Mountain Biking?

Mountain biking is the activity or sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.

What is the difference between controlled and intermediate environments?

- "Controlled" Environments are: in tracked or easy untracked areas that are reliably marked on maps and are obvious on the ground.

- "Intermediate" Environments are: environments where there are limited modifications to the natural surface and minimal clearance and signage along the track. Obstacles on the track may be of a higher technical nature and require higher skills.
