Before committing to a ride on a questionable day, always check the website and this Forum for last minute cancellation notices. Dress appropriately to be comfortable.

What happens in practice is that the ride leader makes a call. In general we are fair weather riders, if there is enough rain to turn on your windshield wipers then the ride usually doesn't happen.

I'm a relatively new member riding with the Clippers.  It looks like rain is coming in tomorrow morning (2/12) around the time of the Wednesday Clippers ride.  What's the club policy for riding in light rain?

Given the forecast for rain Wednesday, I changed ride to a 'rainy day' ride that stays close to the start; just in case.   https://northcountycycleclub.org/ride/gp-olivenhain-el-camino-real-par/?preview=true

Club Rides & Events / Wednesday Clipper Ride Start
Last post by Smstewart - February 03, 2025, 06:27:05 PM
Wednesday Clipper ride starts from parking lot behind 'A Delight of France'.  Note that Grand Avenue (which the bakery faces) is closed for construction.  No problem accessing back parking lot.  Also, return route will have to take E. Second Street due to construction on West Valley Parkway.  Bakery seemed to have business as usual this morning.

Winds shifted overnight blowing the LA smoke right down to us. Here's the most up to date website showing air quality monitors.
https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#7.5/33.217/-117.808/-19

For both air quality and fire information, wind directions too, download the Watch Duty app.
Stay safe and healthy out there. Since my last crash I'm grounded to the trainer but ROUVY has been a really good alternative since COVID first hit, I'll be back outside after our remodeling project is complete.

Hi Jon,
I'm subbing for Ken as the ride leader on Saturday. As I don't have rights to make changes yet, I can't change it. but Ken says he'll get the listing fixed. Check back shortly.
