Rasputitsa Gravel Race in Burke, VT has been rescheduled to July, 25th.
Poor weather and mud were some of the defining traits of this race in April, so it’ll be interesting to see how it is in the summer.

I know! My club runs the race. I was planning on having a strong start to the season. It was out of our hands once the Army Corps of Engineers pulled the permit.
No Gila this year.
Broader than the US, but fairly encompassing:
Cape Epic has been canceled.
BWR has not been postponed yet. They’re going to make the final decision by April 2nd.

Thank you for the correction!
The Rattler is my A race too. I’m kind of concerned and I’ve been looking around and haven’t seen that it was cancelled yet. Hope to see everyone there!!
Tour of WallaWalla and Tour de Bloom have stated they are going ahead regardless. Given they are in WA state i almost feel this is irresponsible at this point, but we’ll see.
Hell of Hunterdon (April 5th, NJ, about 1,000 riders) hoping to reschedule later in the year.
Other “spring series” events in NJ and NY being cancelled for this weekend.
Most likely ToWW will be canceled. Not sure about TdB but I’m guessing they will follow suit too. Formal announcement to follow soon from both directors.
Currently there is one patient in the hospital in Walla Walla who is from Oregon. There are no other reported cases in Eastern Washington. (I’m in Spokane, libraries and schools have been closed. Shows and meetings cancelled.)
Redlands Strada Rosa is postponed. Looking for a new date, refunds are available.
Barry Roubaix is still on the schedule, but they are laying to ground work to postpone it. Looking at a tentative Oct 3 date as the reschedule date, per an e-mail from them today.
No way those races go.
Baitin’ The Shark gravel race in St. Louisville, OH is postponed
I would hope not, but the problem is (and i am not saying this is the case for either WW or TdB) you have small town race directors who have zero background in medicine and health, and these are the people making the call whether to proceed or not. USAC and other Federal Orgs need to step in and say they won’t be awarding points for races held until date XYZ. While they cannot cancel what they don’t control, they can remove affiliations.
All the CO races for the next month have been cancelled: Pueblo Classic, Louisville Criterium, Oredigger Classic TT, CSU Cobb Lake Omnium…
It’s the right move but
this was gonna be my first road race season
Here’s the official blurb for ToWW…
From the ToWW Promoters:
To all the cyclists preparing for the Tour of Walla Walla:
We know there has recently been speculation and concern about whether the TOFWW would take place this year. With much regret, we have had to cancel the 2020 TOFWW. The Governor of Washington announced Friday afternoon that all events with 250 or more people in attendance will not be allowed for the next 6 wks. We were anticipating that this would happen and had been considering that move given the current state of uncertainty, but we were still holding out hope that the race would take place, unfortunately this is not the case.
It was shaping up to be a fantastic year for the Tour and we were looking forward to a great event along with the Tour of Washington. This will be only the second time in 23 years that this spring classic has not taken place. As before the race will be missed and we will miss seeing the racers.
Looking ahead to May 21-23, 2021 we will be ready for the return of stage racing in Walla Walla. Remember, we are changing dates next year! All riders that are registered for this year’s race will have their registration transferred to the 2021 race. Please contact us if other arrangements need to be made.
We wish you good health and hope that you support later season races and events that are rescheduled. Be sure to come and see us in September for the Walla Walla Grit gravel event/race – registration will open soon on BikeReg.
Until next year!
Michael and Kathryn Austin – TOFWW Race Directors.
I’m sure TdB will have their announcement either postponing or canceling all together. WA state is just in too uncertain and unpredictable given the circumstances with the numbers as other states & countries are discovering.
Redlands cancelled.
