Wildcat GranFondo Postponed Due to Bad Weather

It looks like the weather is going to be pretty nasty this weekend with an early season storm, so they have decided to postpone the Wildcat GranFondo until 2017 

Please do not crucify our decision if the sun comes out on Saturday there are a lot of factors that come into play when making this decision with the best data we have on hand. We wanted to give the out of town participants a chance to cancel their hotels and change their arrangements. We absolutely want to make sure that this event kicks off well and is here to stay.

Official Statement From The Board

"Rider safety is our utmost priority.  Regretfully, the Board of Directors and the Wildcat committee for the Wildcat GranFondo have made the decision to postpone the Wildcat GranFondo until October 2017.

Our decision has been made with much consideration to the health safety and welfare of all riders.  The unseasonable stormy forecast for the two days before and the day of the ride indicate a high probability of heavy rains, winds, and poor visibility. 

We would like to offer you the chance to stay with us with your registration money and ride next year, but if you would absolutely need a refund, please send an email to info@thewildcatgranfondo.com
