A rider s time will end with his/her front tire crossing the finish line. A rider may carry his/her bike across the finish line to complete the course. COMPETITORS ON COURSE. Only one competitor at a time may start the course. Depending on the course length, more than one competitor may be allowed on the course; however, there shall not be more than two participants on the course at any one time. The Competition Coordinator, the Starting Coordinator and the Safety Officer will jointly determine if the course can safely accommodate more than one rider at one time. Depending on course size and number of participants, starts will be spaced approximately 1-3 minutes apart. Competitors will not be allowed to start in a head to head fashion. WALK-THROUGH. Upon completion of the walkthrough and demonstration, all riders must be within the staging area, ready to ride. Riders will be prompted to move to the starting line at their respective times. No rider will be allowed to ride the competition course if a liability waiver is not signed or if the Starting Coordinator, who will conduct a safety inspection, deems the rider to be in noncompliance with any equipment or safety requirements. STARTING. No one other then the participant will be allowed in the starting chute at the time of the start. The start will be from a standing, power pedal position. There will be no rolling starts and no assisted starts. All starts will begin from a dead stop. Upon being called, riders will move to the starting line, be asked if they are ready, and then be told to go. OBSTACLES. Each participant must negotiate all obstacles on bike or on foot, at the discretion of the rider. A rider may not circumnavigate an obstacle to enhance their final time. If a rider does not complete an obstacle cleanly, he/she will be required to go back and attempt the obstacle again. A participant need only make a second attempt to cleanly complete the obstacle before continuing on, whether or not they are successful on the second try. UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS. As described previously, teams may be mixed, combining riders from all public safety cycling professions. MINIMUM EQUIPMENT NEEDS. Properly Maintained Mountain Bike: Riders are strongly encouraged to ride their department-issued mountain bikes, set up for patrol. However, riders who are not permitted to bring their duty equipment to the conference and/or who have rented bikes (if available) will be permitted to compete if the bike is equipped in a substantially similar manner to a typical duty bike. Bikes will be checked by the Starting Coordinator to ensure that they are properly equipped. The Starting Coordinator will also conduct a safety inspection of the bicycle and rider. Inferior bicycles will not be permitted. Any rider in any category who does not meet proper safety measures will not be allowed to ride. Because some departments allow knobby tires on patrol bikes due to local riding conditions, slicks, combination and knobby tires will be all accepted. However, it is strongly recommended that knobby tires not be used during the competition. PUBLIC SAFETY CATEGORY Helmet, gloves, eye protection and pedal retention devices ARE required.

A judge may award a re-ride in the event of a flat tire or other unforeseeable mechanical failure, if a spectator or another rider impeded the rider, or if the course is called cold due to some safety concern. Re-rides will take place at the end of the competition, after all riders have completed their runs. E-BIKE CATEGORY Riders may compete on a conventional bike in their respective category and/or on an e-bike. Riders competing on both types of bikes will first ride the course on a conventional bike. Helmet, gloves, eye protection, and pedal retention devices ARE required. No exceptions.

10 Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire - PAR-Q (revised 2002) PAR-Q & YOU (A Questionnaire for People Aged 15 to 69) Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor. Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO. YES NO 1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? 2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? 3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? 4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? 5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? 6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition? 7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? If you answered NO to all questions YES to one or more questions Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES. You may be able to do any activity you want as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice. Find out which community programs are safe and helpful for you. If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can: start becoming much more physically active begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go. take part in a fitness appraisal this is an excellent way to determine your basic fitness so that you can plan the best way for you to live actively. It is also highly recommended that you have your blood pressure evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active. PLEASE NOTE: If your health changes so that you then answer YES to any of the above questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan. No changes permitted. You are encouraged to photocopy the PAR-Q but only if you use the entire form. DELAY BECOMING MUCH MORE ACTIVE: if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever wait until you feel better; or if you are or may be pregnant talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active. Informed Use of the PAR-Q: The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, Health Canada, and their agents assume no liability for persons who undertake physical activity, and if in doubt after completing this questionnaire, consult your doctor prior to physical activity. NOTE: If the PAR-Q is being given to a person before he or she participates in a physical activity program or a fitness appraisal, this section may be used for legal or administrative purposes.
