Hey all, with this absurd rainfall over the last four days, the crew at Without Limits has been forced to postpone this Sunday's Cyclo-X - Flatirons race until September 29th.
Here is the Press Release from WOL:
IMMEDIATE CHANGES TO CYCLO X FLATIRONS:
Dear athletes; we hope your families, your homes, and you are all safe in light of the extreme rain and flooding. In regards to this weekend's event we regret to inform you that this Sunday's CYCLO X Flatirons has been re-scheduled for Sunday, September 29th due to the recent severe flooding. As many of you know the Flatirons course takes place on the grass hillside of Frank Varra Park. The severe rain last night (7-inches) has already caused flooding to the area, making the course impassable even for the most skilled of cyclocross riders. The current forecast is calling for an additional 3 days of rain. Working with the City of Broomfield, Flatirons Crossing Mall, and BRAC officials they've allowed us to move the event to Sunday September 29th. Please note; it's not just about the city park and grass preservation, which is a critical issue to the future viability of this venue, but about creating a safe course that doesn't require a downhill mountain bike, life jacket, snorkel, and rubber riding boots.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PRE-REGISTRATION ENTRY: Your entry will automatically be rolled over to the CYCLO X Flatirons Event on September 29th. You do not need to do anything on your part, simply come to race on the 29th with your photo ID and license in hand. If you cannot make the new date you must contact us by Wednesday, September 18th and indicate which future CYCLO X event you'd like your registration rolled into. Please do not reply to this e-mail with your request but, send a separate e-mail to Tony@withoutlimits.com with your full name, category you registered for, USAC # (if you have one), and event name you'd like your registration moved to. No changes will be made after Wednesday, September 18th.
PRE-REGISTRATION: Pre Registration for the 4 & 6 packs has been re-opened and will remain open until Wednesday, September 18 at Midnight, along with the single day pre-registration for Cyclo X - Valmont.
RACE DAY SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT: Please download the new flyer with the changes in race start times due to the Jr. CX Camp.
Junior Riders: Due to the BRAC Jr. CX Camp being that weekend we have adjusted the schedule to allow for Jr's to finish the camp and come to Flatirons to race with their new skills! Please view the new schedule online at www.withoutlimits.co, and www.coloradocycling.org.
COMMUNICATION: Please call your friends that are racing and let them know the recent news in case they won't be checking e-mail. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this situation. Come Sunday the 29th you can still expect a great event, a challenging course, and some great stories to share with your race buddies.
We hope everyone is safe, warm and dry. We're as excited about getting the Cyclo X season under way as ever, and hope to see you at Cyclo-X Valmont on Saturday, September 21.
