	Mountain Bike Orienteering : Orienteering Western Australia
		The most important orienteering skills needed are route choice and map memory, and these need to be combined with good bike handling skills and the ability to cope with steep slopes, both up and down.
		The Nationals are in WA this year: see previous events at one of the venues - 2005 with map, 2004 with map or go to the carnival page.
		MTBO events are included in the main OAWA events calendar or see below.

	Mountainbike Orienteering - I Was There! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		MTBO is a relatively new sport in NZ, which tests both mental and physical aspects of the competitors.
		What makes MTBO such a blast is the combination of bike handling, strategy and VO2 Max.
		That is to say, how to stay on the bike, read a map, plan your best route allowing for sandy trails, hills and trees, whilst eating, drinking and trying not to blow date.

		It is a navigational event involving riding a mountainbike between checkpoints either in the numbered order that they are marked on a map or in an order chosen by participants, depending on the type of event.

	Mountain Bike Orienteering in NZ
		Red Kiwis ran the 4th round of the Wellington MTBO series at Santoft Forest in warm and dry conditions which belied the images of snow filling the media.

		The NZ team for the 2006 World Championship in MTBO will consist of Marquita Gelderman, Fiona McBryde and Dianne Michels, all of North West OC; Greg Barbour (Orienteering Taranaki but living in the Netherlands), Michal Glowacki (North West OC but living in Norway), Stuart Lynch (North West OC), and Darryl Taylor (Hawkes Bay OC).

	mtbo series :: wharncliffe - Orienteering News Online
		The series is the combined brainchild of the GB MTBO team of 2005, ably masterminded by Chris Poole and Karen Heppenstall with the assistance of Dave Peel (the pioneer of MTBO in Britain).
		Having completed some small Adventure Races and a couple of Trailquests the whole idea of MTBO was nothing new to me. On ARâs and Trailquests courses, you tend to ride on 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 maps over a longer length of time.
		In the end I was not able to race at a fast pace over the shorter MTBO as I prefer to plod over longer distances, and nor do I have the ability to ride such technical trails.

	Setanta Orienteers (club info)
		MTBO is great for learning orienteering – with navigation along tracks and paths possible for the whole course, the ‘lost in the forest’ possibilities are limited!
		To read the map on the move (but don’t crash!), a special MTBO mapboard is attached to the bike handlebars, but try starting with a clipboard (or similar flat board), or a hill-walking map-pocket, attached to the handlebars.
		Setanta has had team members at each of these competitions, while club members also travel to ‘less serious’ events such as the Czech MTBO 5-Day (summer holiday 2005 is in Plzen, where beer was born…) or related events such as the Polaris series in the UK (2-day rogaining on bikes).

		For Liam, Phil, Rick, Janine, Karen and Helen it was their international MTBO debut, so throughout the week there have been some very encouraging debuts and PB rides.
		The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the women’s relay where the team exceeded their own and others expectations with a podium 4th place.
		For the men some of whom have been training with MTBO in mind for 2 years they are gradually chipping away at the targets in an incredibly tough men’s field, and now have a good core of riders with which to develop in future years.

		Monotube shock absorbers are single tube high-pressure gas shocks, which offer enhanced vehicle stability and handling with design features that provide more mounting options and higher damping levels compared with similar twin tube shocks.
		The MTBO system's superior damping consistency, tuneability and durability are achieved not only by the sophisticated design of the valve, but also by using high precision process technology including single piece force adjustment and laser welding.
		The new MTBO valve was designed and tested at Tenneco Automotive's state-of-the-art Monroe Engineering and Technology Centre in Belgium.

		Selection: With the 2003 NZ Champs in doubt this may be New Zealand's top MTBO competition this year, and the best chance for preparation for the first official Australia-New Zealand MTBO Challenge.
		We don't know how the NZOF selectors are going to choose the team (the challenge has only just been made and accepted), but riding here would seem to be highly relevant.
		It helps to treat MTBO navigation in the same way as Foot "O" where you orientate the map as you travel.

	Mountain Bike Orienteering in South Australia
		MTBO is now an internationally recognised discipline of orienteering, complementing Foot O and Ski O. MTBO is generally restricted to roads, tracks and single paths due to environmental concerns.
		The rider must assess what speeds are possible along the varying tracks and consider the steepness factor, so that route choice is pretty important.
		MTBO is useful training for foot o both fitness wise and navigationally.
