Hello everyone, please find below an important message from Terry Rooney -
Oakville CC's Racing Coordinator:



----------------


There has been some question of what happens to our road races in the
event of bad weather, particularly as the weather forecast for this
weekend's race is an 80% chance of rain. In general we will operate as
follows:


A race will run unless the officials call it off on the day.
Race officials are expected to arrive at the race course as scheduled and
assess its condition.
If the condition of the road is acceptable and atmospheric conditions such
as fog and ice are absent then the race will be on.
If any riders turn up to race; the event will proceed.
If conditions worsen during the race it may be suspended by the
officials or shortened.


The best result I got in my entire career was at a race held in rain and
sleet over a 40KM time trial course. The inspiration I learned on that day
was "80% of success is just turning up" or as Lance would say "Are ya
ridin' or are ya hidin'"
