Instruction
Some of
this information is also in the invitation. Here is the most important new
stuff, but remember to check out http://www.orientering.dk/ok-oest/main/mtb-o/camp/
for latest news:
|
Briefings |
There
will be a briefing each morning during breakfast at 8:30. Be there! Prize
giving will be each night during dinner at 19:00. |
|
Competition |
Camp Cup
is a just-for-fun-competition with 5 races. A list of results and split times
will be printed each day. Also the winner of M21 and W21 must draw his/her
route choice on a map for everybody to see. If the
sports software works like I want it to, there will be an overall winner
too. After each cup-stage the average rider will be given 1000 points and
everybody else will be given points based on the IOF formula for standard
deviation. The
best 4 out of 5 results will count in the camp cup. |
|
Bike
Mechanic |
A couple of
mechanics will be attending some of our trainings and also be available some
nights at Feriecenter Slettestrand. Their
shop is located on this address: Thorstedvej 62, 7700 Thisted. |
|
Cake |
Bake a
cake and bring it along Friday night. |
|
Meals |
The price
include breakfast and dinner, but not lunch. You are encouraged to make
lunch package yourselves. Maybe you can split your lunch package expenses
with your fellow apartment-people. So bring some bread and stuff to put on
it, or buy it at the local supermarket. |
|
Høker |
The Ultra
long distance is LONG. Very long. 90 km or 50 km. It is not supposed to break
you, but to strengthen your endurance and improve your awareness of consuming
the right energy during a long ride. If you break
or your bike break bear in mind that there is a pit stop halfway where you
can get some food and water (control 18 – Ole Husen’s summerhouse). You
should bring lots of energy, a credit card and this number for the taxi, in
case your bike breaks down in the middle of nowhere: Taxi 97981465.
You can also try to call me but I cannot guarantee that I can pick you up. |
|
Bike
transport |
Our bikes
will be transported to the secret start area of the Høker in a big truck.
This transportation is your own risk. I will recommend that you bring a old
blanket to wrap around your bike, if it is fragile. At the starting area you
can leave the blanket in my car and I will bring it back to the hotel. |
|
Max. Time |
Be aware
of the max time on the schedule. If you have not finished your course when
the max. time is up, you must go back to the finish area. |
|
Head lamp |
A
headlamp fastened to your helmet is strongly recommended for the night sprint
Sunday night. Most of the course is in public areas but some might be kind of
dark. |
|
Banquet |
The
banquet Tuesday is included in the paid prices for those who live at
Feriecenter Slettestrand. For those who live other places, you have to sign
up with the Slettestrand staff for the banquet. The price is 150 kr. (20 euros). |

|
Rooms |
Participants
will be boarded in apartments of 4 or 5. One room has a double bed the other
bunk beds for 3 persons. Since we are a little short on “couples” I have
tried to put family members in double beds as well to fill the rooms. Have a
look on this website for who you are sharing an apartment with: |
|
Vision |
The goal
of the camp is to prepare the participants technically and physically for the
new season, but there we will also empathize social activities which can help
to build bridges between MTB-O people across nations. |

pets and activities for children. |
|
Bikes |
There
will be a bikewash like last year. It is also possible to rent bikes. |
|
Carpool |
Transportation
to Slettestrand and to the terrains will be in your own cars. If you don’t
have a car write me a mail and I will see if I can fit you in with someone. I
will try to coordinate carpooling. |
|

out keys to the rooms. Call me on (+45) 41417677, if you cannot find me. |

going to be 3 courses, and 4 classes. M21 W21 + M21

|
Maps |
Maps will
all be MTB-O standard. Most terrains have been studied thoroughly while other
maps only have had the area near each control checked. The
terrains we will be using have never been used for MTB-O. Ultra long distance Høker Monday will use a
1:100.000 map and different types of extracts. |
|
Time |
Sport
Ident will be used on some trainings and in competitions. If you don’t have
one you can rent one for the week. Remember to fasten the Sport Ident piece
to the bike. A yo-yo is recommended. |
|
Results |
Results,
splits and overall standing will be printed on the Camp and publiced on the
internet as well along with (hopefully) photos and the winners rouetchoice. |
|
Putting
out and gathering controls |
Like last
year I will as sole organizer need help in putting out controls and getting
them back again. Each partcipant is obliged to either putting out some few controls or fetching them after a training once. A
schedule for putting out controls and getting and setting controls are here: http://www.orientering.dk/ok-oest/main/mtb-o/camp/setget.htm |
|
After-mtb-o-ing |
Each
night there will be ”After-mtb-o-ing” in the Pejsestue (Living room with
fire), where we will do some socializing and drink some beer. There
will also be pool and fussball. |
|
Banquet |
Tuesday
night the Banquet will be held in the restaurant with a 3 course menu, music
and beer drinking. |
|
Physiotherapy |
Again this
year it is possible to get a treatment from our physiotherapist(s) for about
20 euros for 30 min. |
|
Prizes |
The
tradition with leading jersey, best climber, best finisher and Loser-jersey
will continue. There will probably be some prizes for the skilled and for the
lucky as well. |
