ACT Masters August Monthly Handicap at Blewitts

Message from Alan Duus

There has been a late change to Blewitts Pines to provide for overflow parking for the mountain bike event at Stromlo Forest Park this coming weekend. A new entrance track has been graded off Uriarra Rd. through our old start/finish area. Our parking area has been significantly improved by mowing and the rocky areas have been fenced-off. The small entrance/exit gate we previously used off Coppins Crossing Rd is now a continuous fence, and a more substantial entrance gate 100m to the north will be used as an exit onto Coppins Crossing Rd. That way all cars using the area will use separate gates for entrance and exit. Therefore all cars will enter off Uriarra Rd about 150m past the Coppins Crossing Rd turnoff. Please do not park on Uriarra Rd as there will be heavy vehicle traffic.

We have changed our start/finish area and moved it about 75m down the hill. We will therefore park on the western side of the parking area near the start/finish area. But never fear – the courses have been extended to make up the full distances for both short and long courses.
