Rules

1. Be nice to your camp neighbors and fellow riders.
2. No Littering: Please treat the area and trails with respect. Any racer found intentionally littering will be disqualified.
3. Helmets: Required when on the bicycle at anytime, whether racing or not.
4. Race Plates: Athlete “Race Plates” MUST be affixed to the front of the handlebars, and preferably in
   front of any brake or shifting cables. Athlete “Race Plates” MUST NOT be bent, folded, wrapped around the head tube, or in any other position than flat against the handle bars. Improper attachment of the race plate will cause timing chips not to register and may be cause for disqualification. Also, your race plate number is how we visually
   confirm who you are out on the course or in the start/finish area. If we can’t read yournumber, it makes it harder to handle racer concerns that may come up during theevent.
5. Road and Traffic: Athletes are responsible for themselves throughout the duration of the event. This includes:  
   • Navigation of the course. While we will mark significant turns on the course, markings can be altered by weather or non-event related people.
   • We have navigation resources for you on our website which includes GPS files and maps.
   • Riders must be prepared to stop if necessary at all stop signs and road crossings before continuing along the route.
   •  Roads and trails are open to the public, and athletes are expected to follow the applicable laws and regulations in addition to using common sense and general courtesy.
6. Race Calling: Generally speaking, in the case of catastrophic failure due to weather or another extenuating circumstance that prevents the ongoing scoring of the event or creates a
   racing environment that is deemed too dangerous for the participants, the race may be called as of a certain time. Final results will be calculated in one of two ways: 
   • The race will be considered over at the point it was called and the results will be
     taken from the last completed lap. This will be the anticipated method in the event
     racers needed to be evacuated off course instead of completing their laps.
   • Or, The riders will be allowed to finish their current lap after the point the race is called and those results will be taken as final.
7. Race Suspension: In the case that the race is stopped and restarted once the hazard has abated, the combined results of both parts of the race will be used. The race clock (which is based on the actual time of day) will continue without pause during the race suspension. Once the race is restarted, racers who are ready to start a new lap will be free to reenter the course. The time for laps completed prior to the restart will be taken at the time of actual lap completion. This may result in racers who had been running ahead losing some time advantage due to the closure period. While potentially unfortunate in some cases, this is the most straightforward and workable way to account for the race pause. The primary concern is working to maintain the athletes’ safety in the face of hazardous conditions.
8. Ear Buds: Headphones, earbuds, speakers, and other audio devices are highly discouraged. Part of the point of this is to be out in nature taking in the sights AND sounds. If you must wear headphones you may do so in ONE EAR ONLY.  For your safety and the safety of others we ask that you be mindful of your volume and surroundings and ask that you keep the volume low enough that you can hear others. The ability to communicate with each other and other people on the trails is a safety imperative.
   
9. Course Food/Water Support: any person may supply a racer on the course with food and water.
10. Course Mechanical Support: racers may receive mechanical assistance on the course. A rider providing assistance to another rider must have entered the course under their own power, either on foot or on a bicycle, not by motorized vehicle. Any rider who has entered the course in support of another may bring equipment and tools and may even swap bikes with the rider in need of support. The cannibalizing of bikes is permitted.
11. Passing Etiquette:  Follow rules #1 and #13. For those that need it spelled out: (A) Racers riding bicycles have the right of way over racers pushing bicycles. When practical, racers pushing should stay on the least rideable portion of the path when being passed. A racer pushing or carrying his bicycle can overtake a racer riding his bicycle provided he does not interfere with the rider’s progress. (B) Slower riders should yield to overtaking riders. Riders should clearly voice the command “On your left, I’d like to pass,” etc, when overtaking another rider. (C) Riders being passed must move over as quickly, efficiently and as safely as possible. (D) It is the responsibility of the passing rider to overtake safely. But that doesn't give the slow rider permission to violation rules #1 and #13. (E) In the event two riders are vying for position, the leading rider does not have to yield his position to the challenging rider. However, a rider may not bodily interfere with the intent to impede another rider’s progress. 
12. Course Cutting: any attempt to cut the course will result in immediate disqualification of that racer’s entire team.
13. Bad Attitudes: if there are two or more complaints about unsportsmanlike behavior, the racer and his or her team will be disqualified from the race, asked to leave the venue, and will not be welcome at future events. We will also talk smack about you. Refer to rules #1 and #13.
14. Penalties: all penalties are determined on a case-by case basis by the Race Director.
15. Assholes will be disqualified.
16. Act of God: In the case of catastrophic failure due to weather or another extenuating circumstance that prevents the ongoing scoring of the event or creates a racing environment that is deemed too dangerous for the participants, the race may be called as of a certain time, or postponed and restarted, or any other way we damn well please.
17. Protests and Changes: must be made during the 15 minute protest period immediately after the race. After that, the results are final. 

1b. Have fun!
