Greyt Escape : Postponed until further notice

Dear Greyt Escape Rider,
After careful consideration and consultation with all the relevant parties, we have no choice but to postpone the scheduled MTB event for this coming weekend at Rusty Gate, until further notice.
This is due to, and as a result of recent extreme weather conditions, weather warnings and damage to routes in the past week. The unexpected intensity of rainfall and further prediction of rain imposes too much of a potential safety risk for participants and parties involved to continue with the event.
We will communicate a further outcome as soon as we have clarity. We appreciate your insight in this matter, and ask that you kindly be patient until we so we can determine another suitable date.
Trust you will all stay safe and warm in this cold weather at this time.
Regards
OMTB Events.
