We clearly are nowhere near being able to host an event so thought we may as well do some course recon rides.
This was the roughly planned YACK N TRACK course. Its pretty demanding with all that single track but very rewarding. We now know we have to tweak it a bit from here as the Yellow loop uses the same bits twice but it was a good first go.

Lou Rando... an idea for September ? 🤔

looks like a tough course!
Jack Mithen some trails for you!
Are you looking for some long lasting and super comfortable cycling knicks?
Rohin Adams, BHE director has been working with Nemesis Cycling Apparel for his next purchase of knicks. Given his last Nemesis ones lasted 5yrs + he thought that some of you may want something that good too. Nemesis is a custom cycling clothing company so this is a pre order. Worth every cent and then some.
There is also a women's specific model with rear clip.

The indication that in easing restrictions we wont be limited to 100 participants on one hand is great.
On the other hand, it kind of kills the need for this new event idea!
Haha 😂 👌🏻
Ha ha brilliant!
Bring it!
The Australian Government announcement on Friday of changes to the Stage 3 rollback of restrictions means we may have racing (almost) as usual alot sooner than any of us thought. But not quite yet!
With some hygiene changes and registration of spectators as well as starting in smaller groups we should be meeting the requirements but before we can set any dates we first will need Victoria to actually get to Stage 3 easing of restrictions and for now there is no date for that.
And once we have a date for that, the next catch is going to be finding some all weather venues and event ideas to suit them.
Right off to the think tank!

On the positive front it appears motorists now know what 1.5 meters actually is.
We heard one actually came up beside a couple on their morning ride to tell them that they were not in fact 1.5 meters apart.
Very helpful. Thanks Motorists.
We look forward to the footpath advice to couples coming soon. Oh thats right, motorists only hate bike riders. OH well
Stay safe team, less cars on the roads right now does not mean less idiots driving them.
My trek fuel ex is in the shop atm following wombat classic overhaul & have to say, motorist are being really respectful to me riding my electric scooter....can’t say the same when I ride my bike on the road 😂😂
A mate started this petition and you know what, I think its a good idea, so I hope you do too and can sign the petition. Who wouldn't want to see the All Blacks wash their hands whilst doing the Haka.
More so who wouldn't want this thing to be over sooner so we can get back to the great outdoors again with all our mates.
Stay safe, Stay clean and when you can Stay at home.
This message is from Rohin Adams, some guy who does a few different things with his time that he hopes brings something to others.

Following on from the Big Hill Events announcement Shifty Fifty series has all events on hold until further notice.
The VOGA cycling club have confirmed that whilst plans continue for their event entries are on hold with further notice on 1st of April.

Great call! Between this and the Hux @ Bux, suspense for the event sure is building!!
With heavy heart Big Hill Events is announcing postponement until further notice of all its events. We had good advice and plans to ensure our events were low risk and would be safe environments for all our participants, however considering the State of Emergency we feel that being part of the solution is morally the right way to proceed right now.
We had concerns that stocks of supplies like hand wash, sanitizer, cleaning sprays and toilet paper would be hard to get for the next event and for the future events we are unsure of how this crisis will alter.
We hope to host these events in the future but if any entered riders would prefer a refund now please email us. 100% as always.
Great call, cheers team.
Thanks for the early call guys.

Good call- will our entries just roll over to next year or whenever the events run again? Thanks
