Great news! The 2020 MTBO Season will start soon!
The first event of 2020 ACT MTB Orienteering Series is quickly approaching and will kick off at 10am on Saturday 14th March at beautiful Bruce Ridge.
Mountain bike orienteering is an exciting endurance sport attracting both orienteers and mountain bikers. The most important orienteering skills needed are route choice and map reading. Confident bike handling and ability to cope with slopes both up and down is an must for a top level athlete.
ACT MTB Orienteering is beginners & family friendly and invites everyone who loves ride a bike but has never tried orienteering before to learn a new skill and try MTBO orienteering. The only additional equipment you need for our event, if you already have a bike and helmet, it is a map board, which you can easily hire at the start on the day.
