C'mon Man!!!!

This is downright embrassing at this point - please someone, make up your damn mind

Here's the plan. After last year's many delays, its time for a new strategy. As we threatened last year, we will go ahead with the race no matter the conditions. Worst case, Sunday's weather looks great, so the 9:45am wave should happen and definitely the 11:40 and later waves will be on.
Here are the expected options ...
A. It will be dry and racing will proceed as normal.

B. Its sloppy but the racing still happens. The expectation is that riders will hike the bike up the right, grassy side and remount on top. So this means it is highly recommended that if it is wet outside, you bring Mountain Bike shoes and pedals. We will investigate footbath options (seriously) on top of the hill in case of mud on the cleats before remounting.

We are postponing the race until next Saturday, April 3rd. Thanks for your patience. The snow did not melt as much as we expected and the impending weather keeps looking worse. We did line up a gravel dump to help our cause but after consulting with our soil experts, it may not have made much of difference if there was still some deep snow.
Next week's weather is much dryer so a much less chance of a mud issue. It's not much more work for us to delay one week, especially if we could avoid a cluster.

C'mon Man!!!!  If this is to make sure that the white sock wearing, leg shaving, white kit wearing are not going to get all muddy, HTFU!!
 
You would never cancel a cross race for a little snow and mud would you?  Hell, roads are closed all over town and we crossers are still out there racing and loving it....
