2 Rules and Fair play: THE OWNERS OF THE FOREST WILL BE IN THE FOREST TO SEE IF WE FOLLOW THE RULES DURING THE RACES. IT HAS TAKEN US 9 MONTHS TO GET THE FINAL PERMISSIONS AND IT IS ONLY FOUR DAY AGO THAT WE AGREED WHERE WE COULD DRIVE IN THE FOREST. IF YOU WANT TO DO MOUNTAINBIKEORIENTEERING IN THE NORTHER PART OF DENMARK AGAIN, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE RULES. Rules during the camp: Throughout the camp the following rules are valid: Off track driving is strictly forbidden. Riding in 100% yellow (Open Land), is allowed. Riding at the sand areas is allowed. During this camp there will be several places where the single tracks are very close to each other. It will be tempting to cross through the terrain between the tracks. We hope that you will follow fair play through all the camp.

Accommodation Remember that we as organizer do not have the responsibility for the accommodation. For those of you, who have ordered accommodation at Klim Strand Camping, remember to make it clear to the owner if you arrive after the night race. Maps All the maps are drawn February/March/April However, some places the forest owners are working all the time, so you might find some places where the trees has been cut down and it is not marked on the map. The maps for the camp cups are laser printed on waterproof paper. The maps for training are printed with laser printer on normal paper and at every start there are plastic covers for the maps. It is the riders own responsibility to protect the map during the race. Price giving. The camp cup, consist of 4 races, but there will be no price for winning your class in total. Except the honor of course. Instead, we have decided to make a lottery of all our sponsored gifts. The lottery will go on Saturday evening after the dinner, at 1930 in the cafeteria at the camping site. It is situated just behind the entrance of the camping site. Be there all of you, so we can have a nice evening. To win the prices you must be present at the lottery. Routes for all the starts: Are marked with White/Red/Blue ribbons.

8 FRI 28 th April Technical training at Kollerup. Venue: Kollerup Klitvej Fjerritslev Direction: Coming from south follow signs on Kollerup strandvej. Map: Kollerup 2017, 1:10000, 2,5 m A4/A3 size. Start: Free start. All riders must be finish at Training Focus: Route choices. Distance parking start: Max 500 M. Max time: Controls will be taken in at Important notes: Expect many riders driving all over the place, so stay to the right. Take care of others using the forest. NO TOILETS. MTBO camp training 28/ in Kollerup Route choice / Interval training. Ride your route choice as an interval with full speed and concentration. The course length is almost 18 km (direct line) with 20 controls. Map scale is 1:7500. Map size approx. 30 x 31 cm. Control is on the backside of the map. For the best result, do the training in groups of three persons, with nearly the same speed and MTBO skills. On each leg, there will be three different route choices. The different route choices are marked on the map (for example between control 1 and 2 2L, 2M and 2L). L stands for left, M for middle and R for right. The riders needs to pass the line (and number) drawn on the map, on the way from one control to the next, to follow the given route choice. Even if the course setter has decided which main route to take, you still have to make some choices.

9 Notice: The course starts at control no. 1, which means you just ride together from start to the control. From control 9 to 10 and 12 to 13 (marked with a blue line on the map) there is no alternative route choice. I suggest you ride 8 to 10 as one long interval, and the same from 11 to 13. From control 7 to 8 and from 19 to 20, there is only marked two (-R and -L) route choices on the map. The course stops at control no. 20, which means you just ride together from that control. How to decide which rider takes Right, Middle or Left route choice? The rider who comes last to a control, makes the first choice for the next control (and decide when to start), no. 2 makes the second choice and the fastest one takes the last route choice. Be smart and don t take the same route choice away from a control, as you did to the control. It s just training If you want to cut parts of the course away, the course is: approx km, if you stops at control no. 15. approx. 7.3 km, if you stops at control no. 8 approx km, if you start at control no. 5 approx km, if you start at control no. 8 Remember to ride at the right side of the road and look up, especially the last part to a control and the first part from a control. The forest is not that big, and there will be riders all over. Good luck. Jan
