I have heard rumors about 24 Hours of Adrenaline shutting down. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, who will host solo worlds for next year?

Granny Gear has been doing it for years...

...and they are every bit as "qualified" as 24 HOA - maybe moreso? It seems that its the riders that determine which venue gets that status since there isn't any sanctioned UCI world championship event.

If this is true, I hope one of the other event organizers such as Granny Gear or Chico racing in Canada pick up the event venues in Canada.We love to race 24hrs and have some awesome venues in Canmore Alberta and Whistler B.C..I guess we'll find out. I have e-mailed looking for an 06 race schedule to no reply//tough to plan your summer races without and tried phoning to no reply too.I guess time will tell but if there are any promoter out there don,t forget Canada.
If anyone knows what's going on spread the news.....

I hope it's not true as no matter what people on this forum say,I have always found 24HOA to host great events in Canada.Hopefully some organizers will pick up the events if 24HOA are finished or maybe a bike club might host an event.With over 1600 riders at Canmore it would be a shame to lose it.

24 HOA........ good news

Good News...I just recieved an e-mail form 24sports and they indicated that they are 100% ready for 06 and the schedule should be out in a few weeks.It helps to be able to plan a race season sooner than later when travel is involved.

I have word from one of my sponsors -- who also sponsors 24HOA -- that he is not confident that Dorkland is not going to be able to have his little series next year. Already there are local promoters who are doing races in many of the locales previously under the HOA series. Given Stuart's problems in 2005, I doubt seriously that he will actually pull of another series. He may have them scheduled, but he is having ever increasing difficulty with the execution of that schedule.

I am so hoping someone that knows what they are doing and isn't an ass, will take over for adrenaline at my local venue

Apparently they will be around for 2006

A few people (Sologoat, Heather Mosley) posted on their blogs that 24 Hours of Adrenalin will be posting their 2006 schedule shortly.
