What we do?

NYMBO is the North Yorkshire Mountain Bike Orienteering Club who organise at least one event in the county every month. At each event the challenge is to visit as many of the 30 control points in the event area within the time limit using a pre-marked map. Usually the league consists of a mixture 3 hour, 4 hour or 5 hour events using Yorkshire Forests and Bridleways

You can read what Wikipedia says about MBO here, and the BMBO site has some really handy tips here.

If you come along to our events for the first time be sure to make yourself known to one of the team who will be only too happy to help get you started.

MapboardsAvailable to buy…

At every event you can buy a map board if you need one; and also on sale are mountain bike guidebooks for the North York Moors.

    Hi there, really enjoyed Sunday’s event, tho found it extremely hard. Just want to note, I visited Control 48 (can remember exactly where it was and my Strava download will confirm I was there) but seemingly it didn’t register on my dibber. I fully understand that you can’t do anything about it. But it would have meant I was the highest scoring woman with 245 points. That’s rare occurrence for me so pretty annoyed with myself as I guess I miss-punched!
