We bring very sincere apologies to everyone who planned their trip for Sunday only or had different plans for Saturday.
This decision is not ideal, but should benefit the majority of participants more than canceling the event entirely.
We really hope you still will be able to make it to the event on Saturday and enjoy the only Ski-O event in Australia in safe and enjoyable weather conditions:)!

Online Entries will be accepted here until Friday 23:59 https://eventor.orienteering.asn.au/Events/Show/23595
We very much looking forward to Welcome you at the beautiful and warm Nordic Shelter on Saturday starting 9am.

Your OACT MTBO TEAM

The post ACT Mountain Bike Orienteering Champs, 18-19 October appeared first on Orienteering ACT.

The ACT MTBO Team was a small but mighty group, managing to reach the podium every day.
Duncan Sullivan, serving as Carnival Director, along with his skilled and highly experienced MTBO team, including Ricky Thackray and Tash Thackray. Team put on a great quality Champs and prepared three brand-new maps — each one technically challenging, varied, and incredibly enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t what the ACT riders had hoped for when escaping chilly Canberra! All four events took place in rainy, windy conditions, with a maximum temperature of just 12°C. At least they were well prepared:)!
Still, the fantastic terrain and outstanding courses made the journey to WA more than worthwhile.

ACT Riders’ Results:

Marina, Eoin, and Andrew (all RED ROOS) proudly represented the ACT, with Ariadna (also RED ROOS) providing essential support for the team.

MASS Champs: Marina Iskhakova (W21, 1st place); Eoin Rothery (M60, 3rd place)
MIDDLE Champs: Marina Iskhakova (W21, 2nd place); Eoin Rothery (M60, 2nd place); Andrew Harmer (M50, 3rd place)
SPRINT Champs: Marina Iskhakova (W21, 2nd place)
LONG Champs: Marina Iskhakova (W21, 2nd place)
