UPDATE: RACE NOW RESCHEDULED!
—-
Details from race organisers Clive Sharman:
And…We’re back !
We’re really pleased to be able to announce a rescheduled date for Brechin following the postponement forced by Storm Babet. The new date is set for Sunday 10th December. For those planning on riding the CX Nationals at Falkirk this will help fill in a bit of a gap in Scottish racing.
All entries will automatically carry over to the new date,and you do not have to re-enter. For those who missed out, we will be opening up entries again this week and they will close on Tuesday 5th December at midnight.
Due to the loss of daylight hours we will have to make some scheduling changes, however we’re working on giving everyone the maximum time on course during the day for practice and racing. We want everyone to have good value and a great day out.
Unfortunately we did incur some costs from the postponement. Neil and I do not take any money from this event and understandably we do not want to be in a loss making position. If you cannot make the revised date and would like to receive a refund please email me. Once entries close and we understand our financial position we will then refund you what is possible once expenses and prize money have been paid. Many thanks for everyone’s understanding and support.
