Yes, but I'm sure there will be plenty of conspiracy theories.Does anyone know why its not being held ?
If you didn't want others to given an opinion, wouldn't it have been wiser to leave the topic alone ? Instead you felt it important to pipe up and tell us that you know the reason and give no further information. I assume this answer made you feel important.Seriously, do we have to do this? Let's just leave it at "There will not be a Garmin 24 hour in 2012".
Why should we leave it at that! A lot of us plan our whole season around this race. If there is a replacement race we need to knowSeriously, do we have to do this? Let's just leave it at "There will not be a Garmin 24 hour in 2012".
No, because in this sport there are always people spreading BS rumours. The limit of the informations simply needs to be "it is what it is", and leave it at that.If you didn't want others to given an opinion, wouldn't it have been wiser to leave the topic alone ?

I haven't spoken to Mick about the possibility of it, but I think you could be on to something - of all people in the state and sport, I think you might find him receptive to the idea. Maybe call and ask him. Planning a 24 hour at this late stage might be a bit too much (and SurfCoast's date is a bit close to other 24hr events), but for 2013, you never know. I can't think of a better person to run a 'replacement' event.That is bullsh#t..... Get on to Forrest Mtb and get them to run it down there again, how about the southern exposure becoming a 24hr instead of a 12... Awesome trails for it!! Love the 24 in Vic and don't really want to travel interstate to ride with 20000 riders at the Scott in Canberra... What can we do??
hehe. NoMaybe its the Kona 24 again instead of the Garmin 24??
The Southern Exposure have 3, 6, 12 Hr in their race already. Pretty easy to see what the next number in that series is. Also, the Gravity 12Hr at Bright could accommodate more riders - might need to address some road crossings in terms of the course (just going from memory here)....

Talk to the people who run the events. If you'll come, they'll build it (Field of Dreams in reverse...)... What can we do??
How about Geelong... Stock yards day laps and kurrajong night laps... Heaps of room.. WhO do we need to contact about trying to make something happen this year.....The Southern Exposure have 3, 6, 12 Hr in their race already. Pretty easy to see what the next number in that series is.

I would suggest contacting Mick Sheehan at the surfcoast 3, 6, 12 hour and ask the question, or Paul from the Rosewhite 12 hour.How about Geelong... Stock yards day laps and kurrajong night laps... Heaps of room.. WhO do we need to contact about trying to make something happen this year.....
U don't need a 24 hour race to achieve that mateDisappointed, that I know won't be able to turn myself in to a physical and mental fruitcake
