The World Mountain Bike Bog Snorkeling Championships:

This unique event takes place in the famous Waen Rhydd bog on the outskirts of Llanwrtyd Wells, where a trench has been cut, approximately 6 feet deep and 45 yards long. Competitors have to cycle two lengths of the bog underwater using snorkels and riding specially prepared mountain bikes; these bikes are supplied with the tyres filled with lead and water. Wet-suits are recommended and you must supply your own snorkel.
