This is due to the support and flexibility of Trevor D\u2019 Olivera of Avianto who made every effort to accommodate our change of date. We also apologise to all for any inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All riders who have already entered the 2020 Glacier Cradle Traverse are automatically transferred to October. They will also be contacted individually by the Dryland Event Management team to address any questions they may have. Any further queries can be directed, via email, to info@dryland.co.za.
