Orienteering Hutt Valley will be running MTB-orienteering events on the FIRST SATURDAY of the winter months this year, starting April or May.
In the meantime Wellington and Hutt Valley riders may wish to ride some of the Hutt Valley or Wellington summer after-work events, which offer long street-track courses with controls to be visited in any order. Useful for practising strategies for score/trailquest type events. And if you have non-riding family or friends, these events have beginner courses within a park or college grounds. Other orienteering clubs throughout NZ tend to have afterwork events at this time of year, which may be suitable for bikes.
Details of the Wgtn/Hutt Valley events are on the Orienteering Hutt Valley website www.mapsport.co.nz/hvoc/hvoc.html where you can also join up with NZ's pioneering MTBO club. For other areas visit the NZ Orienteering website.
