Win with Garmin

Win a weekend riding with Steve Peat, a Commencal Super 4.1 bike and a Garmin unit!

We're offering four riders the chance to win these fantastic prizes as part of our Garmin MTB Days.

Throughout the summer, you and your bike will be able to come along to the Garmin Days to try the Garmin GPS units and compete for a place in the Garmin Academy: a weekend riding with UK downhill legend Steve Peat. Not only that, we'll be featuring the winners in Mountain Biking UK. Who knows where your career in mountain biking could go after that - are you the next Steve Peat?

There'll be various challenges at each event, from timed sections to using the mapping technology for route planning. One person will make it through each round and graduate to the Academy, where they'll each win a Commencal Super 4.1 bike, a choice of Garmin units and a weekend riding with Steve Peat.

The first Garmin MTB Day is at BikeRadar Live on 30 May. The remainder are at Coed-y Brenin (28 June), Glentress (26 July) and QE Park (16 August). You don't have to do each one, but the more you do, the greater your chances of winning.

With advanced features that allow you to see how hard your body is working, regardless of weather conditions, and let you analyse where you lose time while you're riding, Garmin units are becoming the norm for mountain bikers that want to go the extra mile and increase both speed and fitness. Peaty uses one to maximise his training and, with 16 years at the top, who can argue with his methods?
