?
Hi again Ryan,
Yes, unfortunately there is a conflict here. I wouldn't hesitate to move our race if I could, but the only thing we cannot control about this race, is the date. As Phil mentioned, this race is part of the "Central Saanich Days" community celebration held annually on the August long weekend. This is the 4th consecutive year that IROCC will be part of the festivities. The race has been very successful every year with 85+ entries, and huge support from your very own Lower Mainland racers.
This creates a tough decision for Lower Mainlanders of course. Obviously I'd love to see you all over here again this August (I really can't speak highly enough of your awesome attendance at IROCC races over the last several years!), but I won't take it personally if you decide to head to the interior instead.
Anyway, stay tuned for the official Central Saanich Days Challenge thread to be created in the near future.
