18 PROGRAMME O-RINGEN VÄRMLAND 2017 Competition Information for Mountain Bike Orienteering at O-Ringen O-Ringen 2017 is the first time that MtbO competition takes places over five stages at O-Ringen! The competition takes place on trails and roads in Värmlands deep woods and is contested across a number of different competition classes. The key to success in MtbO is to maintain high speed while keeping contact with the map. Stage start You can sign up for any of 6 different stage start classes each arena during each competition day (9am-1pm) or through oringen.se or Competitor Services at O-Ringen Square no later than the evening before the race. Parking Parkins is available adjacent to all arenas. There are also parking places for campers/RVs. Stage 1, Brandsbol, is located immediately adjacent to the Brandsbols campground. Stage 2, Selma Spa, is located 400 meters away from Kolsnäs camping. Stages 3 and 4 are located approximately 2km from the Fryksta campground, and some places are also available at the arena. No parking fee or parking ticket is necessary. Travel to the competition arenas must be done with your own transport, as no joint transport from O-Ringen City or other places is available. Competitor services at the arenas Competitor services at the arenas include results, information, access to rented Punching Cards, registration for stage starts, outdoor showers, sale of snacks and refreshments, bicycle wash, and toilets. Prizegiving Prizes for stage winners will be handed out at the prizegiving ceremony at O-Ringen Square. Competition rules The Swedish Orienteering Federation’s Competition Rules 2016-02-22 apply. Special notes: • During MtbO competitions at O-Ringen Värmland you are only allowed to ride on trails and roads marked on the map, as well as on asfalt- and gravel-covered areas and on 100% yellow areas. You are not allowed to either ride or run with your bike through forest. You are not allowed to bike through white, 50% yellow, or clear-cut areas on the map. • The competitor must have the bike with him/her the entire time. For example, the bicycle cannot be left so that the competitor can quickly run to a control, punch, and then return to the bicycle. • Many of the trails are narrow, and a risk for collisions exists. Make sure to stay to the right and use caution! Whenever possible, notify other riders that you are coming. • During stages 1, 3, 4, and 5 all competitors will pass a couple of larger roads used by car traffic. Cars will have a lower speed limit of 40 km/h, but all other regular traffic rules apply when biking on the road. • Be careful, keep to the right, and follow all instructions given by event officials! • Forbidden trails and roads are marked with red crosses on the map and blue-and-yellow streamers across the trails in terrain. Respect the forbidden trails. Show consideration to nearby residents. • The bib number must be attached to the front of the bike. • Equipment requirements include a bicycle (not electric-powered) and helmet. Otherwise, there are no additional requirements on clothing. • Competitors in all classes are called up 2 minutes before the start and get their map 1 minute before the start. • The map is printed on plasticized paper using a laser printer. • Control codes are printed on the map next to the control numbers. No separate control descriptions are available. Rented Punching Cards can be collected at Competitor Services at each MtbO arena on the morning of the competition. Rented Punching Card must be returned after finish. See detailed information under “Rules for Punching Cards” in a different location in the program brochure. Punching SportIdent’s (SI) electronic punching system is used for all races. SI-chips 5-11 can be used. The competitor must be in possession of the Punching Card throughout the duration of the competition, but it does not have to be attached to the bicycle. Additional information Additional information for each stage, describing specifics applicable to that stage, will be made available at each arena. The way to the start will be described in this additional information and posted at the arenas. Only stages 3 and 4 will have toilets at the start. Chasing start for stage 5 will be used for all competitors with a combined time (from stages 1-4) less than 60 minutes behind the class leader. Competitors with longer total times or those who do not have a combined time start after the chasing start with an interval of 1 minute. Map size A3 for all classes and all stages. Stage 1: Sunday, July 23 Long distance, arena Brandsbol Assembly: Brandsbols IP in Hedås; direction signs from Gräsmark (Uddheden) 19 km Northwest of Sunne. Start: First start 10:00am.

Terrain description: Stage 1 takes place in open pine forest. The ground consists of a thin soil cover on top of sand and heath. The area is crossed by a number of easily bikeable trails and roads. The difference in the trails’ ridability is insignificant. As a contrast to this, the eastern part of the map features a steep slope of 40-50 meters down to the river Rottnan. Stage 1 is long distance and is going to be very speedy with some tricky route choices along the steep slope.

Terrain description: The competition area is crossed by a number of larger and smaller trails that are occasionally used for cross-country skiing in the winter. The area is steep.
