Evaluation of IOF events maps
Mountain Bike Orienteering World Championships 2005, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, 5-11 September


Map Commission's general comments (ISOM maps - long, relay, middle)


The terrains were very hilly; there was very few route choices on the courses which caused dangerous situations occasionally (M21 up, W21 down on the same time on an important narrow path).
