Spring Mtbo Rogaine series It was a great turn out with over 80 people to the first event in the OBOP Mountain Bike Rogaine series. There were a number of people new to the MTBO sport and it is always encouraging to see so many families and teams out there and giving it a go.
The air mode on sport ident helped minimise congestion at the checkpoints at the start, and after the first few check points the field dispersed. The route choice presented a challenge, especially for those aiming for the higher scores with a few of the controls spread around and up a couple of big hills. Keeping an eye out for the controls, particularly at the intersections became important, with a number completing an extra loop after missing a control on the first go.
Other challenges included losing 10+ minutes in a (successful) search for a lost sport ident card, a lost cell phone on Gunna Gotta, and ending up off the map and at the longmile road end of the forest. Thanks to all for your participation and feedback, and also a big thank you the person who help collect controls at the end. We hope to see you all back again in two weeks time!
