Claudio Posted January 21, 2014 Share Big changes for 2014 are that the UCI has taken media advice and moved the Downhill from Sunday to Saturday with the XCO now on Sunday as the final event. Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelhicks Posted January 21, 2014 Share Yeah its a bummer - but dont worry We have some cool stuff planned for the XCO course ... :whistling: The DH is also going to get a shake up - those guys planning to come on their Enduro bikes are going to be in for a surprise at the top! :devil: Claudio, Grebel and Stretch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelhicks Posted January 21, 2014 Share Thanks StretchWill PM you if we need help - but i think Nick has it under control ... AFAIK he is changing the whole XC track ... dont know how or what ... but he said he was bored of the old one so the riders will get something fresh ... Wish I could do the same with the DH - but oh well. @Grebel - The new sections on the DH will not be used for the events in March - they are to be built next to the existing track to open up more lines with more options for our future local races. I dont want to make the top too hectic that we cant use it - so we will be building new stuff specifically for World Cup Tumbleweed, Stretch and Grebel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeloErv Posted January 22, 2014 Share What's up with the date change? We've booked accomodation in December when the dates were first released and now to find that it's on a different weekend is rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted January 22, 2014 Share Velo - the date was changed by the UCI - not the organisers ... I dont know why ... the dates were initially released in July last year - with the change was made late last year in November, but the old dates were already out on the web and this is causing confusion. Sorry but that is just the way it is ... I have brought this up time and again at our meetings over the last couple of weeks as you are not the first person to have booked flights and accomodation etc based upon the UCI's initial preliminary schedule ... I asked for a new mail shot to go out to all the MTB sites etc, but as yet this has not happened. Hope you can make a plan and change your bookings. ...
