Starting this as a place to post cycling events/races that have been cancelled here in the USA.
I have heard about Sea Otter being rescheduled. But I’m worried about my upcoming “A” race, the Austin Rattler (an XC marathon MTB race outside of Austin, TX) getting cancelled.
Post the events that have been cancelled and their locations, especially local events/races - that way we can all follow them and freak out together
Rattler is an A race for me as well. There was a leadville podcast yesterday with a gal from lifetime saying they are not currently planning to cancel any events. That said, things are moving quickly and I could see them calling it off if the panic continues to escalate.
Good to know. Until about three days ago I was planning on doing the three day Cascade Gravel Grinder as an early season target. Good to know it may not be an option.
USA Cycling is pulling all their athletes out of foreign countries but is leaving event postponement up to local organizers based on local government directives.
Was anyone else planning on riding the Hincapie Gran Fondo in Fort Worth?
I found out through social media that they have canceled the event due to COVID-19 and you could transfer your entry to the Greenville or Chattanooga Gran Fondo but no refunds will be offered.
I’ve reached out to let them know they have to offer refunds due to the Eventbrite Merchant Agreement.
A little upset I had to find out from the LBS instead of the event organizer and they aren’t offering refunds given how expensive this ride was.
If anyone else on the Forum was planning on riding this event post up and I’ll inform you what they respond to me with regarding the refund.
They’re allowing us to transfer from Fort Worth to Greenville or Chattanooga so seems like they’re turning a blind eye to this. They also use Eventbrite for registration which has a clause to protect against cancellation.
Just posting what’s out there showing no refunds. That’s a steep price for an event if I’m reading it correctly. Hopefully you can get your answers with Hincapie or Eventbrite.
