Organisers have followed the advice of NSW Health and the Australian Government and feel it is only fair to their loyal rider community to act decisively and offer as much notice of the date change as possible.
The decision to postpone the annual event to December has not been made lightly, with organisers considering Federal Cabinet's National Plan to Transition Australia's COVID-19 Response.
Classics founder James Yaffa said that while we were devasted to postpone the event for the second year, we were determined to bring back the Bowral Classic to the Southern Highlands in December this year.
"We understand this date change can prove challenging for our riders and partners, however we are doing our very best to make the 2021 Bowral Classic a reality and their ongoing support throughout these volatile times means a lot," he said.
Riders who had registered for the 2021 event will automatically be transferred to the new event weekend of December 11-12.
If they are unable to make the new date, an option for deferral to Bowral Classic 2022 or refund will be offered.
