I just ordered 8 orienteering maps for the Minnesota Orienteering Clubs permanent course at Theodore Wirth. Since the MTB trail is closed this might a be a great opportunity to check out what else the area has to offer and give orienteering a try or brush up those old skills you learned in elementary school.
The course is around the Flower garden and quaking bog area and it is a fun course. If you haven't explored the area much this is a great opportunity.
All you need is a compass and some legs. Could either be a race or just a learning thing or both. We can do teams or have a couple races for those wanting to do solo categories.
Orienteering is also the basic foundation of adventure racing. If you want to put a team together and compete in any of the Wild Adventure Races, MNOC races or others this is a good place to start. For those of you who haven't done this before I can get some folks out to give some instruction on orienteering.
I'll try and find a date that works with other events going on around town.
Level of interest?
