Weather affecting organised races

[Jace]

Hi there,

 

I couldn't find anything similar in any of the forums so i thought i'd ask the question here. If i have paid for my 42.2KM Mandela day MTB ride to hear that all the trails in the Howick area have been closed untill further notice (living in Howick i appreciate them doing this the wind is so fierce!!) what would happen to our entries if it was deemed unsafe to ride the race? Fire warnings are high at the moment and as strong as anyone is trying to pedal like a bat out of hell to get away from a fire my money is on the fire winning that race.

 

On another note. Is there anyone taking part tomorrow that is doing it for the hell of it and not the prize money?? I fall into this category and could use someones shadow as there is no timber and very little shade..

 

Cheers

Me and the missus also signed up. I think finding shade is the least of your worries at 18 degree predicted. Dress warm and enjoy it. (At least we dont have to ride against Brandon -one step closer to the podium)

P.s. I dont think the route is going into mondi plantation that much, more around currys post and dairy farm area. I stand to be corrected.
