Riders Brave 130k Winds
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Mountainbikers braved cold southerly conditions at Makara Peak today - including an Aucklander! Claude Dabaliz flew down specially for the event, as he did for the MTBO Series opener three weeks ago. Karori was not as bad as elsewhere in the region, and planners Andrew McLellan and John Randal shortened the courses at the last minute to stay off the tops.

Bikers Orienteer the Riverbank
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Though rain discouraged attendance, OHV's first MTBO beginner event explored the tracks on the riverbank between Melling and Kennedy-Good bridges. Hard to believe this was out first promo in 8 years, and lots of you said you had friends or family that would be interested.

Clever Courses on Mt Vic
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- John Randal and Lara Shepherd made the most of cleverly set courses and fine weather to win the open classes on Mt Vic today. Matt Farrar rode nearly 20min faster than any other vet man, Dave King being the best of the rest. Tom Bradshaw had some junior competition for a change. And Peter Snell put in a surprise appearance.

Rogaine Runs from Lambton Quay
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- A really bizarre feeling starting last night's rogaine in downtown Wellington beside the pubbers, and battling the traffic lights on the outward legs. But of course Tinakori Hill and Ngaio Gorge are only minutes away. The event run out of the Norsewear shop on Lambton Quay by adventure racing "Team Norsewear" was won by Bill Edwards in spite of a fading headlamp.

Wellington MTBO Series - {Makara} Peak
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Brilliant weather in other parts of Wellington today was replaced by mist on the top of {Makara} Peak, and a bit of a breeze buffeted riders on exposed tracks such as Ridgeline. However it was great in the bush and afterwards on the grass as the scores were totted up. Stephen Betts judged things nicely with slightly too many controls for MP Supporters president John Randal to visit - he scored 470 out of a possible 540.

Rogainers Undeterred by Storm
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- With a southerly storm battering the region and houses collapsing in Lower Hutt, it was amazing that anyone turned out to the rogaine tonight! But 40 took on the steep bush tracks surrounding Wainuiomata and lived to tell the tale...

Wellington Winter Afterwork Rogaine Series - Brooklyn/Aro St
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- There were 73 participants, and all controls got at least one visit. Perhaps too many visits from the point of view of the tramps, who apparently had to move from their seat in Central Park at Control 30 for rogainers to inspect the plaque.
