That’s Right! Just like chocolate and peanut butter formed a long-lasting relationship, mountain biking and orienteering are pairing up for a fantastic new event to be held on Sunday, October 19th, 2008 at the Mansfield Outdoor Centre (directions).
MTB-O is yet another orienteering based cross-sport that is already quite popular in Europe. Check out these Google results for MTB-O. Pretty soon someone is going to combine running, mountain biking, canoeing, and orienteering into a single sport and who knows what kind of fanatical uber-athletes that will attract.
We’ll keep you posted as more information is available.
