With much chagrin I have decided to cancel the Time Trial tonight*.   The TT course appears to be ground zero for a red cell at  6:00-6:30.    It is already raining there now.  The roads are already wet and a severe T-storm is due to hit the course.   We need to consider the safety of all involved.  If it is raining, I will not be able to sweep the course and I won't put up the signage for fear of violent wind damaging them.   It's not a good situation.  So, for the firs ...Continue Reading
