I spoke with AROC earlier today. They think they are 99% good to go, but don't want to make any announcement prior to getting the official go ahead from the Defence Minister.
I heard that Defence are only going to allow the traversal of their land on the condition that racers sign a form idemnifying Defence against the potential ill effects that may occur from the Life Firing exercise on there that morning.
Another condition is that the course heads into Duntroon, where every rider does an hour of Intensive Training and then has to say how good ArmyGeddon looks, and what a good investment of Tax-payers' money it has been to send it to Summernats every year.
AROC email newsletter said:We are expecting to make an announcement in 2 weeks officially opening the long anticipated Capital Punishment 50km and 100km MTB Enduro. This event has already drummed up a huge amount of interest and will enable for the first time, riders to tour Canberra's extensive and super fun single track areas from Sparrow Hill right through to Mt Stromlo. The ride of all rides - watch out for the official announcement. Entries will open soon after.

To be fair, the two weeks from when they last said "we are expecting to make an announcement in 2 weeks " have not (quite) passed.Is it just me, or does it just reek of "f*ck up" again?
I so hope the race goes ahead, but the sands of time are again slipping away....
