British
Off-road Biking (BOB) is NOT a national governing body but is a
commercial organisation offering a range of courses for prospective and
existing cycling leaders.
British Off-road Biking offers cycle training and
qualifications at four levels that relate to the location and
technicality of the operating terrain. In addition to the cycle
training BOB also offers a range of additional training modules
covering such aspects as Navigation and Incident Management. These
modules allow the BOB training scheme to be recognised as a
“stand-alone “ scheme. That is, they allow holders of BOB
Awards to operate in remote country without the need for additional
awards from other National Governing Bodies.
Site Specific.
Primarily aimed at activity centres and organisations wishing to
qualify leaders “in-house” where all cycling activities
take place on-site or follow prescribed routes. The operating area will
be non-remote but the route may contain technical sections.
Level 1.
This level qualifies candidates to lead on well-defined highways in
non-remote technical terrain such as forest tracks, roads and
cycleways. The route remains below 600m and less than 2.5 Km or within
30 mins. walk from a road or shelter, in areas that present little or
no navigational difficulty.
Level 2.
This level qualifies the holder to lead in remote locations below 600m
on technical terrain where the rider will encounter rough ground and
narrow trails. To hold this award candidates will require to have
documented proof of their competence to navigate and to handle
emergency incidents in this type of terrain. This competence can be
evidenced by an appropriate NGB Award or by the Navigation and Incident
Management module provided by the BOB scheme. Candidates who do not
have such additional skills will have a geographical restriction placed
on their operations.
Level 3.
This award qualifies leaders to lead groups on defined routes through
mountainous country in summer conditions. To hold this award candidates
will be required to present proof of their competence to navigate and
to handle emergency situations in mountainous country. This competence
can be evidenced by an appropriate NGB Award or by the Navigation and
Incident Management module provided by the BOB scheme. Candidates who
do not have such additional skills will have a geographical restriction
placed on their operations.
