by Kent Koral 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi CVC'rs, Well, sometimes you have to pay the piper for all the beautiful weather this winter, and it looks like this is the weekend he's looking for compensation. The chance for rain tomorrow is now 100% according to Weather Underground. So with that said, we need to keep the CVC inclement weather policy in mind; *Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.* If it is raining and you decide to venture out, please be careful and have a safe, fun ride. And lets hope it gives us a good soaking tomorrow and clears up for Sunday's Rides!!! See you out on the road and trail.
