Update on the Race at BC scheduled for 3/6/11

Posted in

This is an update concerning tomorrow’s race in the Coastal Carolina Off-Road Race Series at Blue Clay. As of right now the race is on as scheduled. However, the club will make the final decision about racing by 9am on Sunday morning. Currently there is a very high chance of significant thunderstorms throughout the day and we simply cannot hold a race during severe thunderstorms. If the thunderstorms hold off and we just have rain the event will go on as scheduled. However, if it is clear that it will be unsafe to race due to the storm the race will be postponed to a later date TBD.

In addition, depending on conditions, even if we do run the race we may cancel the kids race.  That to will be a race day decision if the main race does go on as planned.

Please stay tuned to our facebook page, website, and your email box for more information. A Final decision will be sent out tomorrow morning as close to 9am as possible.

In preparation for what could be a muddy good time though, why don’t you go and check out a video by sirbikesalot from a few years ago at another rainy and muddy good time at the Piranha Pit!? Check out the link below!

Workday 2/12/11 at Blue Clay

Posted in , ,

From Barry Wray:

There are less than 4 weeks until the first race of the year at the Blue Clay Bike Park! There is a lot of work out there we can do to improve the trail and help make it possible to ride sooner after it rains. So, we are going to have another work day at Blue Clay Saturday morning (2/12/11) from 8:30 am until ?. Please come out and help if you can. Bring work gloves, wheelbarrows, shovels, even an ax if you have it.

BTW, the BC trail is still very wet from all the rain we have had. We worked on rerouting one section of trail this past weekend. The reroute was completed but is still very soft and needs time to dry and firm up. how to determine value of domain name . We put in a temporary ride around until this new section has a chance to dry. Might be a good idea to ride UNCW until the entire trail at BC can dry out.

Thanks and I hope to see a good turnout for the workday on Saturday.
