2012 Lapierre's are now in stock!!!

Sunday June 6th, 2011 the National 'Mud and

Sweat' adventure orienteering race was held in

Cornwall for the first time.

The competition had participants from all over the UK racing around the Mineral Tramways network, visiting as many pre-laid electronic checkpoints as quickly as possible. Prizes were awarded in several categories and a great time was had by all.

In what is widely hoped to be the first of many such events in the South West, National MTB event organisers 'Mud and Sweat' teamed up with Portreath based Mountain Bike specialists at Elm Farm, to host a weekend of camping, adventure racing, and local food and drinks.
