Says the man who wanted to let the fires burn themselves out...i hate to kill your asking for a update...but i think people living there might have other things to worry about at the moment rather than their beloved track... like their HOMES AND LIVES
not the first time its happened, eildon nationals 05 beauty was schedualed for then to.Looks like Buller is fine, Beauty however...
Wonder what would happen if that track were to disappera - our Nationals DH finals are meant to be there in Feb!
Oh - and I hope like hell no peopl eget hurt. Ideally little or no property damged either, but that one seems unlikely.
There is no chance of the fires being put unless we get stacks of rain so it is just going to end up the fires burning out the high country. Most firefighting will be backburning around towns and doing asset protection.Says the man who wanted to let the fires burn themselves out...
It has only burnt near the top of the long course BIG HILL DH trail as far as I know. The DH and XC trails below the mountain Mt Beauty itself are ok (at this stage) where the Nats round is being held. I've spoken to one of the organisers of the race and he doesn't seem too concerned with the fires at present.does anyone know what happens if the dh track is burnt out and the national race is unable to take place in beauty is there a back up location or will the round be postponed or just cancelled.
thanks ferg
Just got a call from Club spurs (buller lift) saying they are not opening till Jan.
I was comin down to VIC to ride buller 26 till 28th.
Where else will I find DH in Vic? I need to try to rescue the holiday and get some riding in.
Any help or advise is much appreciated.
