Mountain BikeNeil DonoghueGlobal Mountain Bike Network

Neil Donoghue has stripped the GMBN presenters of their smartphones and Garmins to see if they could conquer an epic point-to-point race using nothing but old-school paper maps and a compass. Starting from separate secret locations, the lads have to hunt down hidden checkpoints and collect the ultimate mountain bike reward, a tea party. Watch to find out who has the best survival skills and who gets hopelessly lost in the hills!
