Welcome to the Barry-Roubaix,
please read the following information to make your race day safe and enjoyable.

RULES:  BARRY-ROUBAIX

• Don’t be a jerk! Everyone’s looking to enjoy the day, don’t be “that person”

• All race courses are open to auto traffic, and may include the occasional horse back rider. Obey all traffic laws, instructions from Sheriff Marshals and volunteer corner marshals at intersections. Only roll through if you are directed to do so. You may be asked to stop for your own safety.

• I repeat, the course will NOT be closed to traffic and cycling rules of the road apply, i.e. stop at all stop signs, yield to cars, no more than 2 riders abreast and do not cross yellow center line. Violations could be penalized by disqualification

• 100-mile riders: A rear blinking light is REQUIRED equipment for safety. With a sunrise start it’s important to be visible on course.

• Number plates must be handlebar mounted. To reduce scoring errors and issue; DO NOT CUT, FOLD, WRAP OR BEND YOUR PLATE!!!!! Number plates will have a disposable timing chip attached to the back. Also only place your plate on the bars; Not on your back, hydration pack, pocket, etc. Any scoring errors resulting from a modified or improperly mounted (read: wrapped on the head tube) number plate will NOT be corrected.

• 62 and 100 Mile cut-off time:
  For your safety we have the following cut-off times in place:

  • 100 mile racers @ McCallum Church (mile 41) - 11:30 AM

  • 100 mile racers @ Cedar Creek Church (mile 62) - 1:15 PM

  • 62 mile racers @ Cedar Creek Church (mile 44) - 3 PM

  • 100 mile racers @ Pierce Cedar Creek Aid (mile 88) - 4 PM

• Note: chip timing equipment will be pulled around 5-5:30pm as we need to re-open Green St. (M-37) to traffic. If you finish after that time you may not get a finish result.

• Be aware that corner marshals and sheriffs will not stay at their post until the very last rider. Once the “majority” of racers have passed they will leave, at this point you can still follow the course markings but no one will be stopping traffic for you. Follow the rules of the road.

• If you didn’t complete your registered race distance, do not cross the finish line and inform the timing team for results accuracy.

• Any physical altercations will result in disqualification.

• Cheaters aren’t welcome. If you’ve been found guilty of cheating/doping by USAC or other races, we have the right to deny you from racing and will remove you from results listings if caught in a year you raced BRX.

• The event organizers reserve the right to delay, reschedule or cancel the race due to, but not limited to include; weather, emergencies and any unforeseen situations that may put at risk the safety of the racers, spectators, volunteers and general public. No refunds will be provided, however the race organizers may offer registrants a partial refund or credit to a future race.

• If you can not ride a steep hill or loose sand, stay to the far right so others can pass by while riding

• Littering of any kind is not allowed and will be grounds for disqualification

• Starting in the wrong wave will result in disqualification! Do NOT line up in the wave in front of yours in an attempt to get a front row spot in your registered wave. We will remove your number plate if you’re caught doing this!

• Family and friends; to reduce vehicle traffic on the course please keep cars completely off race route roads. Especially stay off Sager Rd during the race. Do not even think of driving or parking there!
