Time Trial Cancellations
updated: 4/21/2015

The GMBC weather manipulators (a covert wing of the club) sometimes miss the mark on assuring that each Thursday is a perfect day.  Sometimes, too, a town event or road construction may get in the way.

The last choice is to cancel an event, but if there is a circumstance that could potentially cause an unsafe condition for racers and/or volunteers, the event will be cancelled.  In the case of storms in the area, we use radar and the hourly forecast to make the call.

What will cancel an event?

Thunderstorms looming in the area, moderate to heavy rain, high winds, fog or low visibility, extreme heat (heat indexes in the mid 90s and above), cold and wet, and wind chills below 30 degrees.

Poor road surfaces and road construction.

Town events resulting in pedestrians on the course and/or increased traffic, or the designated parking area for the time trial unavailable (such as for a school graduation or other event).

When will the determination be made?

By 4:30pm on the day of the event.

How is this decision communicated?

An email will be sent to the club's listserv.

If possible, the GMBC website will be updated -- but don't count on it!

Email Kevin to find out (send before 5 pm, else there is no guarantee that he will be able to respond in time).

Will the time trial be rescheduled?

Only if it's a championship course.
