THE Gloucester Mountain Man Tri Challenge, which was to take place on 14 September, has been cancelled.
“With all the rain the organising committee really had no choice but to cancel this year’s event,” said Race Director Sam De Witte.
“It was a reluctant decision and very disappointing, but there were a whole range of factors preventing this year’s event from proceeding.
“The Barrington River is at nearly two metres and flowing fast, the paddocks which the bike riders have to cross are saturated and boggy, and the area where the kayak leg finishes cannot be used.
“Sometimes the weather just goes against you and we didn’t want to leave it to the last minute to make a call.”
