After doing another important risk assessment over the past few days, we have decided to postpone the Forbidden Gravel in Cumberland event to later this month. (New Date to be officially announced in next 48hrs)
Due to the worsening fire risk, we have been recently informed by one of the land owners that we are not permitted to have motorized vehicles access certain areas of the course, which are critical to our safety emergency first response and communication plan.
Your safety is our number one priority and we need to be certain that we have a robust safety plan to ensure the well-being of attendees and allow for effective management of any incidents or emergencies that may occur.
We also are mindful that the conditions are getting dryer and the weather forecast remains hot and dry for the remainder of this week. Recently some new fires popped up nearby in Campbell River and we expect the situation to continue to deteriorate until some much needed rainfall arrives, hopefully later this month.
Rest assured that we are doing our utmost to keep the event alive and to also extend the distances for the Intermedio and Esperto so that you are getting more bang for your buck.
We appreciate your understanding on this matter. It has been a challenging summer with record breaking temperatures and lack of rain.
For any questions, please email us at info@panachecyclingsports.com.
Let's keep Gravel Cycling alive!
