Apparently the Southold town police decided to pull the plug due to Hurricane Irene

They may re-schedule for Sat Sept 10. I can't make that date so I'm selling my entries cheap... and yes, they are transferable.

From what I saw Glenn just isn't returning money at all. Those who registered for the Northfork Century can get a $30 credit toward another ride. Those who registered for the Night Ride get a credit for the full amount. Considering these rides are $100+ his "no refund" policy really sucks.
So I guess this means I won't be plunking down any money on his rides in the future.

Not to beat a dead horse but... when I read about no refunds I tend to think that applies when a rider, for whatever reason, later decides not to participate. It never occurred to me that there would be no refunds if the organizer failed to produce the ride... just saying.

I have done several of his rides and this decision plus bad experiences on other rides results in me never doing another Glenn ride
they are not supported well, always have a street marking issue and are run like a joke
Gold Coast Ride, Mansion Ride are some rides that are run much better
