Fall de Tonka reserves the right to delay the start of the event or to cancel the event. The safety of all riders is our primary concern. While we recognize the aspirations and commitment of those that have prepared for the ride, we will make decisions about the ride based on the participation population as a whole. Conversations that could lead to the cancellation of the event will be made in cooperation with local law enforcement and the National Weather Service. In the event of a forced cancellation of Fall de Tonka, the financial impact on the event would be the same as if it were held. Refunds or future credits will not be given if the event is cancelled.
