I'm sure everyone who is signed up will have been notified but just in case you've missed it, a notice that the event has been postponed came up on my twitter feed this morning.

If the conditions are as bad as I would guess they would be then I can fully understand why, as people could be out for a very long time to get round.

Re: Braunton 150
Probably not a bad idea and less embarrassing the the North York Harmoors event last weekend where something like 80runners had to be removed from the moors in various stages of hypothermia by mountain rescue....

Re: Braunton 150
I wasn't down to do it this year but I did last years. I rode with a local for part of last year and he said the ground was the driest he'd ever seen it in places and he's not known the trails to be so good. I can imagine it would be very slow going over the moors if the ground was very wet, which would mean being out in the cold for much longer so probably the right decision. Plus, if it's moved back until after May I might be able to get back for another go, so every cloud....

Re: Braunton 150
This could be good for me. I wanted to make it this year, but work racking up and a load of prep for having holes knocked in our house meant I didn't want to commit and then bail. If it's delayed I may be able to do it. So, bad news I guess, but potentially good news for me
