Port 24 postponed
The race organisers will make an announcement on Thursday am. At present, the race is going ahead.
Port 24 rescheduled for 12-13 May 2012.
Unfortunately the heavy rain has taken its toll at Telegraph Point. The wet weather means that the oval will not be suitable for vehicles, and possibly not for camping. While the track is designed to avoid the worst of the mud it will still be wet and muddy and may deteriorate if used for racing for 24 hours. So, we have decided to postpone the Port 24 until 12-13 May. The forecast for the week before and the weekend looks a lot better.
We’re very disappointed but we believe this decision will make for a much more enjoyable event. We know you’ve made plans and we’re sorry you have to change them. We hope as many riders as possible will be able to reschedule to 12-13 May.
If you can’t make the change then you have the option of a refund of half your entry fee. This is part of our agreement that you will have seen on the Refusenix Racing website. Part of your entry fee goes to Hastings Valley Mountain Bike Riders club and the rest will go to help cover expenses we have already paid for. You can email:
barkhut@gmail.com with your name and category and we will arrange a refund of half your entry fee . This offer is available until 5 May.
If you are in a team where one or more of your riders wants to take the refund you can arrange a transfer of a new rider by emailing us at
barkhut@gmail.com with the replacement rider’s name and contact details.
If we have to cancel the event on 12-13 May we will give all riders who are registered at that time the option of a refund of half the entry fees or a free entry to the 2012 Pleasure and Pain on 9 September.
