That is highly unlikely. This event has only been canceled once before (for 8 inches of snow and 2 of ice in 2014).
At this time, no changes to the routes. All routes for all events are subject to change at any time due to current conditions or emergency situations.
We get it. It isn’t that the weather is bad, it's that bikes and ice go together about as well as putting your left shoe on your right foot.
