Bad Weather Policy
Now that we are entering the rainy season and there is a
more-likely chance that rain MAY interfere with our
scheduled rides, please be advised of our long-standing
policy regarding cancellation of a ride. While it is always
a member's option to go on a chapter ride when it is
raining, a decision will be made by the Road Captain whether

email to membership if the ride is being cancelled, check
your email before you leave home if the weather looks
questionable. However, that being said, the actual formal
cancellation of a ride will occur at the time and place the
ride begins. The Road Captain running the ride will be
present at the designated time and location where the ride
begins to advise those present of the decision
