Weather Word ...

Tour de Tulsa riders, we're sure the weather is on your mind as we approach the event. Here's our plan for Saturday morning, May 4th.

At 8:00 am, we'll start the ride, unless there are thunderstorms or heavy rain. In that case, we'll push the start to 9:00 am and remove the 100-mile ride from the route mix.
At 9:00 am, we'll start the ride, unless there are thunderstorms or heavy rain. In that case, we'll push the start once more to 10:00 am and remove both the 100-mile and the 62-mile rides from the event.
Finally, at 10:00 am, we'll start the ride, unless there are thunderstorms or heavy rain. In that case, we'll CANCEL the ride and call it a day.

That's our plan. Hope this relieves any uncertainty you have about the ride start on Saturday morning.

NOTE: Wet pavement can lead to increased chances of accidents and flats. Keep that in mind as you're zipping along.

We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces on Saturday morning!
