Races are cancelled due to too much rain

the National DH race round 3 in Rotorua and N-Duro summer cup round 2 both scheduled to be on 23 Jan 2011 are cancelled!

... bugger! i have had this happen just once before, so i guess i am pretty lucky that it hasn't been more often. last time it was in Christchurch though so that was a bit more of a bumner as i had travelled all the way down there and was all amped to do the race (crater rim), but it rained ALL night and wouldn't stop raining (just like now!) and in the end the race was cancelled! we ended up watching dvds all day instead of being outside going hard on the bikes.

i understand why the race is cancelled and i do in some way think it's a good call, event though at the same time i really wanted to race today, i am sure there are a lot of people who feel the same way.
oh well, we will just have focus on the next race and go twice as hard there ;)
