Weather Update [Sat. 9AM]
There are very different weather conditions, depending on where you are right now. Today, Harrisonburg is being impacted by the weather from tropical storm Ophelia. We’ll see gusty winds and periods of rain on and off throughout the day. The Fundraising Riders event has been updated. Those participants have been notified (check your inboxes).
At this time, the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo is scheduled to take place as planned. Our local meteorologist is forecasting the impacts of the storm to move out in the late night/early a.m. hours, with clearing on Sunday.
All participants have been e-mailed. We’ll provide additional updates, if needed.
Get ready for adventure!
