Why did this block occur?
A Court in Germany ordered that access to certain items in the Project Gutenberg collection are blocked from Germany. Project Gutenberg believes the Court has no jurisdiction over the matter, but until the issue is resolved, it will comply.
For more information about the German court case, and the reason for blocking all of Germany rather than single items, visit PGLAF's information page about the German lawsuit.

How can I get unblocked?
All IP addresses in Germany are blocked. This block will remain in place until legal guidance changes.
If your IP address lookup is incorrect
Use the Maxmind GeoIP demo to verify status of your IP address. Project Gutenberg updates its listing of IP addresses approximately monthly.
Occasionally, the website mis-applies a block from a previous visitor. Because blocks are applied momentarily, you should try again later to visit https://www.gutenberg.org if Maxmind shows your address as being outside of Germany.
If your IP address is shown by Maxmind to be outside of Germany and you were momentarily blocked, another issue is that some Web browsers erroneously cache the block. Trying a different Web browser might help. Or, clearing the history of your visits to the site.
I have other questions or need to report an error
Please email the diagnostic information above to (removing the spaces around the @) and we will try to help. The software we use sometimes flags 'false positives' -- that is, blocks that should not have occurred. Apologies if this happened, because human users outside of Germany who are making use of the eBooks or other site features should almost never be blocked.

The Gambler is a unique event offering a fun, challenging race with a point of difference being the introduction of a strategic element.
Riders have 4 hours to accumulate as many points as possible by completing a choice of 4 different trail loops in the order of their choosing – with each loop worth different points according to their length and difficulty (Grade 2 – 4 trails). Therefore riders need to plan and strategise how they will race this event – will they do the same loop over and over, or perhaps attack the difficult loops worth more points first – who knows? Under this format it will not necessarily be the fastest rider that wins, but the most strategic rider/s of them all. This event caters for the avid racer as well as teams or families out to have a bit of fun. We have a dedicated loop for junior riders only (12 years and under).
Location & Facilities
EVENT BASE: Craters MTB Park – at the dirt carpark off Karapiti Road (The road to Craters of the Moon).
BRING YOUR TENT: You are most welcome to bring a tent for your team and set up for the day at the event base – we will have a designated area for this.
PARKING: Limited parking in the event village – teams bringing a tent for shelter during the event will have priority for parking. Parking marshals will direct you for parking along Karapiti Road. Riders can also drop off gear at the event base and park at the new Hub area by Kefi at the Hub cafe and ride/walk back up to the event base.

- DISCOUNTED ENTRY FEES FOR TMTBC MEMBERS – We will be checking entries and memberships tag numbers against our database. There is still confusion amongst riders over being a TMTBC Member and a Bike Taupo (BT) Member and this is costing the Club essential funding to run events such as The Gambler. BT Membership grants you access to Craters Mountain Bike Park. As BT own the concession to the Park, the only way to join the TMTBC is to ‘tick the box’ on the Bike Taupo Membership form (this is free to do!) and then a small portion of your BT fee goes to the TMTBC to help run events. You can tell if you are a BT member only, or a BT AND TMTBC Member by your membership tag – BT Members have blue tags on both sides. TMTBC Members have tags that are purple on one side and blue on the other.
- ALL MEMBERS in a team must be TMTBC Members to take advantage of the member rates.
- The entry form asks for your TMTBC member tag number so have it ready. Non-members simply enter N/A in the form.
- 18 years and over are considered Adults
- Age is as at 13/12/2020
