Do I need to map read for 20 mile endurance ride?

[Pristine]

Hi all you clever people

Have been doing funrides now for the past couple of months but now want to do my first endurance ride.Twenty miles.

I love the fun rides but want to do something a bit more challenging. I know they give you a map for a funride but I never use it and prefer to just follow the arrows/flags etc.

Please tell me I'll be able to do this for a twenty mile comp ride as going to Kelsall Hill Ride this coming Sunday.

And dont want to get lost.
Cant read maps to save my life and would have to have a crash course-unless I follow people.[not reccommended-I know]lol

You should get a talk thro as well as a map. Dont always rely on others to follow or flags/ribbons on trees

Altho saying that I did one last year at Beachy Head and thankfully followed a few in front up a hill else Im sure we would have plopped off the edge of the cliff!
