COVID-19 and AMBC events

Announcement regarding AMBC events and COVID-19.

Yesterday the club committee unanimously voted to suspend races for the foreseeable future in line with current government best practices and to enable effective social distancing.

This means that the event scheduled for O’Halloran Hill on 28 March is cancelled. Full refunds will be processed for those who have already entered.

This was not an easy decision to make and the committee did attempt to consider all practical risk mitigation measures. This decision is a cancellation, not a postponement as there are already many events to compete with later in the year. The committee understands that this may frustrate some members but this is a bigger situation than any of us have ever dealt with before.
Stay safe.
Keep riding.

We’ll be reviewing the situation prior to the planned Prospect Hill and Craigburn Farm events but expect the current situation to continue.

We are trying to create some value for members and sponsors so stay tuned for some planned fun competitions.
