WEATHER:

As we all know, it's a guessing game about weather. Predictions are often wrong, so the POLAR BEAR Ride will take place even if there is light rain prior.
Cancellation notices will be placed here and around the Internet. If there is heavy rain and/or lightning, the event will be cancelled.
If the event takes place, there will be no refunds.
If the event must be cancelled, pre-registered riders will receive compensation in the form of an annual GVC membership.
