Shimano Singletrack Classic Weekender: OrientBeering

by 9

In addition to the “official” XC, Downhill and Trials parts of the Weekender competing we’re going to be doing some additional “just for fun” optional mini-events to keep people entertained during the latter stages of Saturday.

The first of these mini-events will be the Polaris OrientBeering Challenge. Basically, it will involve navigating your way from Lee Quarry over to the not-that-far-away Cragg Quarry.

Once you’ve found Cragg Quarry you’ll have to locate a orienteering punch, punch some holes into your raceplate with it, return to Lee Quarry alive and go to the Polaris stand to collect your delicious liquid prize.

Orienteering with beer. What can go wrong?

Get from here...
... to here ...
... find one of these and punch your raceplate with it ...
... go to the Polaris stand and get one of these*

*will probably be in a bottle.. and won’t be beer if you’re under 18.

Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
