P.S. / Cycle Tour

CAN THE WEATHER
STOP OUTDOOR CYCLISTS?

Keep Up To Date

CANCELED !!
.. "in the effort to help participants plan accordingly, the Bicycle Committee will make a decision on the status of the ride at 9AM on Friday, October 10. At this time, we will assess current weather conditions and forecasts. If conditions look favorable, the ride will go on as scheduled. If conditions are deemed unsafe, the ride will be canceled."

P.S. At 9am on Friday morning, the temperature in West Yellowstone hovers around 20 and there is a fresh dusting of snow on the ground. Although road conditions at this moment could support plans to go ahead with the tour, all forecasts are predicting with at least 90% certainty that a large scale Pacific storm will reach us by this afternoon leaving an accumulation of snow. With these predictions looming and riders’ safety our first priority, the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce is forced to cancel the Fall Cycle Tour scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday October 11, 2008.

MONEY QUOTE FROM THE SITE
We will have two feed stations along the route again this year. The first will be located at Madison Junction and the second will be located at Old Faithful. We still recommend that you carry enough food to keep you energized and we will provide a few portable snacks at registration. Those of you concerned about your ability to ride the entire 60 miles need not worry. The route is patrolled by 2 or 3 sag wagons (vans with trailers) that, once full, can give you a lift back to West Yellowstone. Two mechanics, Les from Yellowstone Bicycle and Melissa from Freeheel and Wheel, also patrol the route to help with repairs and flat tires.
