Twinshock Trailfinder
By: Web Editor
Twinshock Trailfinder is the only event for the thinking off-road rider, combining map-reading with spectacular long-distance trail riding. Put simply, it’s orienteering on dirt bikes.
Austin and Lois check the map durng route planning for Twinshock.
It is designed as a relaxed, boutique and highly social classic dirt-bike experience, not an enduro or a race. To keep it down-home and friendly only 70 bikes will be accepted.
The event covers a 400 square mile area, centred on the town of Sort in the Spanish Pyrenees and it happens only once a year – 14-15 September 2010. However, once the ‘Trailfinder’ event is finished, you may still ride the mountain trails freely, in your own time.
Twinshock Trailfinder! is a team event for two to four riders and a comedy team name is compulsory. Each team will be issued with a map showing the exact locations of the 42 checkpoints over the 400 square mile area. There are numbered metal dog-tag plaques affixed at each checkpoint. Each checkpoint has a different points value, depending on how far it is from the hotel. It’s open to any bike with two shocks at the rear. Contact: twinshocktrailfinder@yahoo.com – There is intentionally, no website.
