TrailBreak's non-competitive Trail Ride format has been running for nine years, offering a choice of distances, fully waymarked routes, support and catering. They're certainly a great way to get a guaranteed decent ride in parts of the country with which you may not be entirely familiar.
Trail Break are running a winter series with a Trail Ride on Saturday and then on Sunday is a Navigator Race from the same start point. It's a chance to put some of that new-found familiarity to the test with some orienteering-style action - you get 3.5 hours to amass as many points as possible by visiting checkpoints. There's no set course, so good navigational skills as well as decent pace are essential - they're the thinking person's bike race.
So grab some mates and book your entry to get in some winter miles and have a have some fun too. There's always some great nosh at the finish too!
- 1 December - Woodcote, Oxfordshire
- 12 January - Shackleford, Surrey

There's also a Trail Ride on 27 April at Princes Risborough, Bucks, but without a Navigator the day after. So don't show up there with a map and compass on the 28th...
