This fire, from the reports, is burning in that canyon where Dave Rabe lives.  Hope he is okay.  Stay safe Nevada folks!

I just received a call from ride manager John Collier.  The Tour de
Washooooooo is officially canceled.  He intends to reschedule sometime in
late August.  He will hang on to all ride entries and roll them over to the
August date.

As I look out my window this AM, Washoe Vally is clear of smoke.  The fire
is raging up on the mountain and the smoke is heading up the mountain.

The wind will pick up this afternoon and the smoke will most likely head
back to the valley.  This is likely to cause HWY 395 to close again.

So, the Tour de WAshoooooooooo is officially canceled.
Ericka
