RACE POSTPONED: Saddle Skedaddle Spring Series Round 2 - 8 February 2009

RACE POSTPONED:
Dear Riders,
We are very sorry to announce, but after having a last look at the conditions at Tunnel Hill we must postpone Round 2. The good news is that it will now be held on the following Sunday 15th February.
Riders safety and enjoyment are always our priorities and we believe that the deep snow and ice there would significantly increase the likelihood of accidents and mean that some parts of the course could not be reached quickly by paramedics. The venue is now extremely tricky to access by vehicle and park at, as is the riding. All pre-entries will be carried over and pre-entry will be opened again on Saturday until next Tuesday. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
