Due to significant damage to roads and landslides from the recent unseasonably heavy rain, HQ Plantations (managers of the State Forestry in Kenilworth) have informed us that the State Forests around Kenilworth are closed and that the Sunday Creek Classic cannot proceed as planned. We have spent the last few days exploring alternative options, but due road closures, the scale of the damage and number of roads affected, we are not confident we could deliver a high quality, safe and fun cycling event in the time frame.
The event will instead be scheduled for a date later in the year pending HQ Plantations, Council and National Parks approvals. We will announce this date in the next couple of days but are exploring August and September options.
If for any reason participants can’t make the new date, entries will be fully credited to the next Sunday Creek Classic in 2023 or another Wild & Co event (Adventure Racing anyone?).
From our side, the course is set, we’ve got boxes of gear, timing systems and race packs ready….we just need a course to race on! With the extra time, please keep training, stay safe and looking forward to seeing you in a few months time!
And maybe with this extra time we can add some more goodies to the race 🤔.
Kind Regards,
Chris Dixon
