10 RACE RULES: BARRY-ROUBAIX 2018 (SUBJECT TO CHANGE) Don t be a dick! Everyone s looking to enjoy the day, don t be that person Safety is the number one priority. Ride safely, communicate with other riders, hold your line, just because the person in front of you proceeds through an intersection, doesn t mean its clear for you. This race course is open to traffic, including the occasional horse back rider, obey all traffic laws and the instructions of Sheriff Marshals and volunteer corner marshals at intersections, and 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 Number plates must be handlebar mounted. Not on your back, camelbak, pocket, etc. Handlebar mounting eliminates scoring errors Do not trim, fold or bend number plates. If you didn t complete your race distance you shouldn t cross the finish line, if you do please 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 Helmets are mandatory No ear buds / music allowed No tri-bars or aero bars allowed Motor pacing is not allowed Pacing a teammate is allowed if the Pacer is a registered rider. You cannot assist a rider with physical contact, i.e. pushing someone up hills If you cannot 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! Crew, 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. Crews are not allowed to follow racers (via bike, car, scooter, etc) during the race All racers may only receive hand-ups from friends or family at the aid stations listed on the race maps.
