ON COURSE SUPPORT

SAFETY IS OUR #1 PRIORITY.
We want everyone to have a great day of racing. Please remember sportsmanship above a race time. If someone needs help, give them a hand.  Please communicate with fellow racers; holes, turns, changing lines, vehicles, stopping…. Call it out! Slower racers make sure you stay to the far right of the road. Faster riders make sure to communicate passes and give slower riders ample room while passing.
