S500 postponed

Post by Firebolter »

Due to the weather emergency declared by the Governor of Virginia, the Shenandoah 500 is postponed.

We will try to reschedule the event for the weekend of Oct 8/9 or Oct 15/16. There are lots of factors we need to check to determine if either of those weekends is feasible. We will make the call on whether we reschedule or cancel by Oct 5th.

If you can not attend either of those weekends (Oct 8/9 or Oct 15/16) you can request a refund through Eventbrite immediately. We hope many of you will be able to stick with us while we try to get this thing rescheduled.

Thanks,

Washington Area Trail Riders

Bummer. I signed up to help marshall/sweep and was not prepared in the slightest for this weekend so while it sucks to be delayed it gives me time to get my shit together at least :lol2: :dry:

I was also sweeping but I’m glad I won’t have to ride in a downpour now.

Yup, Jeff Nelson and I were sweeping with you Jed. Honestly I am kinda glad it postponed, all that rain/water and all those rocks and hard pack forest roads makes for slippery conditions and there would be more crashes and injuries possibly, so probably a good idea. Not to mention, camping in the rain is not fun and alot of folks that attend these events are tent campers. Now can they get it re-sched? We'll see :shrug:

Now I just have to eat 200 bucks worth of Halibut! I was making fresh Halibut, rice pilaf and fresh grilled veggies Friday night! I also have 10 chicken breast in my freezer! That was Saturday night dinner! I was making dinner for 7 each night! Don't need to shop for a while!

I doubt I'll be able to make the rescheduled event, unfortunately. I have other plans both of the proposed dates.

I need higher class bike friends :eats:

Hope they don't reschedule to next weekend. I'd like to do the Granville ride.

Yeah, not good weekend for me, I won't make if they do re-sched that weekend. I might be driving a van load of plywood to Cape Coral next weekend so I'll miss riding at Jim's. I have some friends and family in the Naples/Ft Myers area and they have been devastated. Kinda hard for me to go have fun when they are suffering so looks like a supply run is in my future next weekend.

Two of my friends just got emails that its been cancelled. I've seen nothing on the WATR list. The email went out. Its official. No S500 :(

We're planning on going somewhere like Kairos instead.

Ditto on that, my brother isn’t allowed to see his home in Cape Coral till tomorrow. Might be loading up generators, pallet of water etc and heading down myself for the week this weekend.

edit:
just heard from my brother, very very lucky house is dry. Nearly cat 5, getting dirty side of water counter rotation, storm sat on top of his area for 6hrs...very very lucky
