Evening Bike Ride Cancelled

A message from Nicohl Birdwell-Goodin, Director of Animal Care Services:
​
​Unfortunately, weather forecasts from several sources indicate a risk of strong storms moving through our area late this afternoon/evening. Although things look like they may clear up around 9pm, if it DOES storm earlier in the evening, we would not have adequate time to tour the course to clear it of debris. Riding at night is so much fun, but NOT if you are riding on slick roads with low visibility, dodging downed tree branches. In addition, setting up bike racks and tents in our staging area during potentially stormy weather carries its own inherent risks...think "lightening rod".

We are so sorry to have to cancel our ride for tonight, but you can’t fight (or fully predict) Mother Nature. Your safety, and the safety of our volunteers is always our main concern.

Our planning committee will work on trying to find another viable date to ride yet this year, and if we find a date that works with the City of Columbus – we will announce at a later date. Please don’t give up on the Moonlight Loop!! The Moonlight Loop will be back!

Please check our website and Facebook for updates.
Those riders who wish to pick up their t-shirts may do so at Animal Care Services starting Monday, July 14 from 10am to 5pm.
