Round one of 20chocolate Downhill Cup will not be held in Kamnik. After the warm-up at Golovec Trails Test Day the Downhill Kamnik was supposed to be held on April 30. Unfortunately a landowner cancelled his consent for the event to be held on their property.
So far the owner’s decision remains unchanged after meeting with Slovenia Cycling’s Mountain Bike and BMX Commission. But we will all do our best to hold the event during the 2023 season.
Golovec Trails club statement:
»We had an idea to return the race to this iconic localtion above the town of Kamnik and to race on a track which has been almost completely prepared. But we are not able to join the series with this event yet. Once again it happened that the development of mountain biking infrastructure and events depends on the mood of indivuduals and on legislation that is hard to understand. This time we received a call from a landowner who is basing his approval on some conditions on which we have no influence.
We would like to thank Slovenia Cycling, Municipality of Kamnik and others who supported this project. We wish the cancellation didn’t weaken the motivation of other potential organizers. We encourage everyone to put on events, be a good example and influence all the parties involved. We are not done, we’ll see you at at least one more event at Golovec trails this season as well as all the remaining events of 20chocolate Downhill Cup.«
