Weather Contingency Plans:

PTC will make best efforts to keep all events on schedule despite less-than-ideal weather conditions, however, participant safety will be the primary concern for all decisions.  PTC will keep riders and volunteers informed about weather decisions via multiple communication tools. This plan defines inclement weather as anywhere from light to heavy rain. In the event of severe weather (thunderstorm/tornado), leaders should refer to the Severe Weather Plan. While this plan assumes a phased approach to cancellation, leaders will do what makes the most sense given the forecast.   

Saturday, Sept 20
-Kids Challenge will be canceled if bad weather persists.
-Taste the Cause & Inspirational Program will happen rain or shine but be canceled if lightning is present.

Sunday, Sept 21
Ride Courses will be moved back by 30 minutes in the event of inclement weather. This weather call will be made at least 1 hour before start times.
 
-Century: The latest start time for the Century course to start is 7:30 am
-Metric Century: The latest start time for the Metric Century course to start is 8:00 am
-After 8 am the Century and Metric Century courses will be canceled, and participants will be allowed to ride the Big Hitter, Pedal Pacer, Ted Jones Katy Classic, or PTC Classic between 8:30 - 10:30 am.
 
If at 8:30 am inclement weather is still in the forecast Sunday rides will be canceled
Cancellation of the ride may include cancellation of the spinning event if moving indoor the Family Arena isn’t possible.
