Yep, afraid so. Now I realise this will be very hard to believe if you've ridden out off road, locally as we did yesterday but its true.
The land owner is very keen and also very disappointed, he even entered himself in the race, but he has a business to maintain in these difficult times and this is only a bike race.
The problem is the land is reclaimed from an old quarry and the sub soil is almost totally clay. Right now its still waterlogged, with standing water on the main drags and in the woods. He can't get on the land to mow it for his own purposes never mind the work required for FNSS, and the forecast is heavy rain for tomorrow Thursday. The race will ruin the areas of his business used by small children for the whole holiday period.
I don't know if any of the other organisers can step in at such short notice, but for now can you please inform anyone who you think requires notifying that the race is OFF at Desborough and will not be re-scheduled. All pre-entry monies will be returned.
Once again from the organiser Paul Brown, Sorry.
