Round 4 Chase the Sun MTB Series rescheduled

Wednesday, 01 September 2010 12:17

Round 4 of the 2010 Chase the Sun MTB Series has been rescheduled to a later (hopefully drier) date and therefore is not accepting entries at this time until a new date is announced. We are working with Parks Victoria on establishing a new date and will announce this as soon as possible.

Following the wettest winter in 13years at Lysterfield Park, the trails (both Management Vehicle Only, mountain bike trails and for that matter the entire park) are holding an unprecedented amount of water. We have taken participant welfare and environmental values into account, when making this decision.

We want to apologise to riders for the inconvenience and will have the new date for the event in the coming week.
