A THRILLING mountain biking event will mix mud, sweat and off-road biking at Brimpt's Farm near Dartmeet on Sunday, May 15.

The event is open to individuals, pairs and families of all abilities: all that's needed is a sense of fun and adventure.

For the Dartmeet event in the innovative Mud and Sweat mountain bike adventure series, three events are on offer.

The usual navigation class combines off road mountain biking with the skill of navigation, and is open to everyone from beginners and families to experienced adventure racers.

Also on offer will be a 'time trial' class, where competitors will ride a number of laps around a set course, with no navigation required.

The aim is to get the fastest time possible.

Alongside this event will be a time trial duathlon class, where competitors will both ride and run around the course.

Prizes from the event's main sponsors, Bigpeaks Adventure Superstore, Cotswold Outdoors, and Powerade, will be awarded to category winners on the day.

Competitors must bring a working bike, helmet, money for entry fees and refreshments, and a compass if taking part in the navigation class.
