Massive flooding has forced the organizers to cancel the 2019 Ard Rock Enduro. Mother Nature has not been kind to cycling events in the UK this summer; the 2019 Malverns Classic was
cancelled last month due to weather as well.
Flooding this serious can be incredibly dangerous, and we're hoping that everyone is able to stay safe through this.
 | Dear friends,
We are heartbroken to tell you that the 2019 Ard Rock enduro is cancelled. Flash flooding in the Swaledale valley has flooded roads, homes, land and submerged the Ard Rock site. Right now we are doing everything in our power to ensure our team on the ground is safe, and we can support all those who need help. The rainfall and situation is unprecedented in this area. Access to the area is blocked by emergency services from all roads. Please do not travel.
Please allow us some time to ensure everyone is safe before we update you with all required details and FAQ’s.
Rest assured that none of our racers, participants or partners will be out of pocket. If you are a catering/services vendor, or brand we will be in contact shortly. We will update you via video when we know everyone is safe.
Thank you for your understanding.
With heavy hearts, Joe and the whole team at Ard Rock. |

What was it like last week a city killer sized asteroid passed closer to us then the moon. And we didn't even see it until after the fact.
A black hole/supernova pointed in the wrong direction not to mention a super massive blackhole at the center of our Galaxy is the reason we are a spiral/toilet bowl Galaxy.
Human beings are basically baby chicks in the middle of a busy freeway as far as our standing in the universe goes.
Sleep tight kids.
I have a truck but choose to ride my bike everywhere the only time I drive is to get to a far away trailhead. So I drive like 2 times a month.
Hopefully those affected will bounce back soon.
