Weather Update – 17.03.18 – 12.30pm
Having monitored the weather, the trail conditions and the forecast throughout the morning we have made the difficult decision to postpone tomorrows race.
All racers will have their entries transferred to the 10th June when the postponed race will be held on Ricochet.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly and we have everyone’s safety in mind.
Thank you for understanding.
As you can imagine we are keeping a very close eye on the weather. Going on the forecast and with 20yrs+ experience on Aston Hill we are holding off to see what tomorrow brings.
The forecast at present is for heavy snow showers through Saturday and for it to be cold, windy but clear on Sunday. If that’s the case it will be a chilly old days racing but we will be able to run the event. The Pedalhounds Enduro ran in similar conditions at the start of the month.
Obviously the safety of our competitors, staff and spectators is paramount but at this stage we are still planning to go ahead with the racing.
Keep an eye on the Firecrest MTB Website and our Social Media Channels for the latest.
