Red Kiwis Orienteering Club is running MTBO at Otawhao near Woodville in March, unfortunately up against the Cyclic Saga in the South Island. Whangarei and Hutt Valley Orienteering Clubs have been pioneers in introducing bike courses within their foot-orienteering events. Brent Hoy will probably include orienteering at Waitarere in his Winter Series of mountain bike races. MTBO will be included on an unofficial basis in the Australia-New Zealand Orienteering Challenge in Queensland in July. And NZ's first ever mountain-bike orienteering championship will take place at Hanmer at the end of September.
That's probably the tip of the iceberg! Take a look at the
