🌦️ HANDLING WEATHER THROUGH THE SEASON🌦️ Mountain biking in Kentucky brings all four seasons... sometimes in one weekend. From fog-thick hollers to sideways rain on the ridge, we’ve seen it all. But weather safety, that’s non-negotiable.💯 🚨 As stated in the [2025 KICL Event Guide](https://kentuckymtb.org/weather-and-refund-policy/): *“Any decisions regarding canceling, postponing, or altering races due to weather will be made jointly by league staff and land managers, often the morning of the race. Safety first, always.”* Whether it’s lightning strikes, extreme heat, or trail-damaging rain, we’ll pull the plug if needed. So stay connected! 📲 Get real-time alerts straight to your phone with RainedOut: Text "KENTUCKYMTB" to **84483** Or opt-in here: [RainedOut Sign-Up](https://www.rainedout.net/team_page.php?a=e26011cfa03c473b30f8) 📘 Want to know all the rules?
