Good morning riders and Dallas Police Cycling Team Supporters,
The Board, as well as the Sergeant from the Motorcycle squad, have had lengthy discussions concerning the ride tomorrow. Our concern is not the rain itself, but the conditions of the roads after even a small amount of rain. A short amount of rain can make the roadways very slick. If you have ridden in the past, you know that the motorcycles pass the cyclists very close at a very high rate of speed in order to make the ride safe for the riders. Due to a 40% to 50% chance of spotty rains tomorrow, we have decided to postpone the ride to September 2, 2023. This decision is a difficult one for us to make, but the safety of our motorcycle officers, as well as our riders, is very important to us.
We hope you understand, and we look forward to having everyone join us on September 2, 2023. Everyone’s registration will be moved to the new date. There is nothing that you need to do to hold your reservation for the ride in September.
We look forward to seeing you then.
