Cross country rallies, unlike many other forms of off-road racing, involve a lot of mental training.  You need to know how to manage your bike and body and learn to navigate using only a roadbook and compass heading. 

We run private training events for competitors preparing for international rallies (as well as those who want a 'taste' of what it's like!), where you will learn from experienced racers all about navigating, and keeping your head (and yourself) in the race.
