Event Description
***New date for Round 1 - Easter Monday, 1 April***
***Awaba MTB Park***
Race update, Friday 10am:
The race is postponed....again!
We are very sorry to inform you so late but we simply have no other option than to postpone the race again. Until yesterday the forecast looked like rain on Friday and showers on Saturday, but has changed significantly overnight to rain through until Sunday.
We want to give you a fun and safe race and in those conditions it won't be. We are as disappointed as you are.
The new schedule looks as follows:
Round 1: Awaba, Easter Monday, April 1
Round 2: James Estate, April 20 (no change)
Round 3: Ourimbah, June 15 (as originally planned)
Rounds 4 and 5: no change
We would like to offer that all registrations will be automatically transferred to Round 1 but you can opt to change them to Round 2 only - please inform us via email if you want to do that: cycle@rockytrailentertainment.com
Thanks for your understanding, guys.

IMPORTANT race update:
The forecast hasn't changed and we will postpone the race by 1 week! The new date is Saturday March 2. It will be a lot safer for riders and more sustainable for the Awaba trails (and way more fun) to race a week later.
If you are already registered we will automatically transfer your entry and you don't need to do anything. If you can't make it to the new date please send us an email to cycle@rockytrailentertainment.com before this Tuesday and we can transfer your entry to Round 2.
This is the predicted rainfall for Saturday and while we hate moving dates around you and your drive train will thank us:

Important race update:
We are currently monitoring a big and moody front that is supposed to hit the NSW east coast on Thursday or Friday. It has the potential to drop a lot of rain onto the track at Awaba. If there is only little rain we will race but we won't in trail destroying downpours. We know how much work goes into that track and won't race in coditions that will damage it.
If this front really hits we will most likely postpone the race by 1 week to Saturday, March 2. On Wednesday we should be able to make a call on it and will communicate it on our website, via facebook and send an email to all registrants.
