Although COVID-19 is still everywhere in our day-to-day life, @smugglerspath didn’t want to let Saturday 30 May 2020 pass by without noticing. Since last year this is International Smugglers’ Day and they want to keep it that way!
What can you expect from International Smugglers’ Day?
@smugglerspath challenge, you to take your bike, regardless of the type of bike, and pedal it!
Plan a route of at least 70 km in komoot, include your favourite local paths make sure you leave some room to explore new roads. After your ride, upload your tour on komoot and create at least one new highlight. Then tag Smugglerspath (link to https://www.komoot.com/user/smugglerspath)
so they can see what you’ve been up to.

Of course, always follow your local law and guidelines regarding COVID-19.

Route upload challenge
The coolest tour upload on komoot will be rewarded with a komoot Premium upgrade. and a JBL Soundbox Clip 2 (Powered by www.Pion.cc). So make sure you take some nice pictures of the awesome paths, climbs or views you find on your ride to create highlights on your tour!

Social distancing has impacted all of our lives, we will get through this together. This was taken during an Overnighter in early March - it seems like a lifetime ago. When restrictions ease due to a significant lowering of new COVID-19 infections, where will you be travelling to? Do you have any plans already hatching? Or are you holding on by the skin of your teeth and need to escape? Stay strong!

Stay safe everyone. Practice social distancing, but let’s keep the community spirit alive and support each other through this current pandemic. Together we are stronger.

Perhaps we were overly optimistic! But in light of new updates this morning (18 March 2020) from Cycling Australia, MTBA and the Federal Government, we now have little choice but to postpone the 2020 Thunderbolts Adventure.

Graveleur has kept a close watch on the latest advice regarding the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on organised cycling activities in NSW and this decision is based on the aim to reduce the risk of infection to our riders and the towns we would visit.

What happens from here?
- The event will be postponed to a later date in 2020. The new date will be announce as soon as practically possible as it is impossible to predict how long this situation will last
- Your entry will automatically be transferred to the new date
- Once we announce the new date, if you find you are unable to attend, please email: info@graveleur.cc and we will provide a 100 % refund
Please don't forget to contact the Victoria Hotel if you made arrangements with them for Accommodation. They are aware that the event has been postponed.

For any other queries or questions please email: info@graveleur.cc
