4 Protection Requirements Lift Tickets Race Order Start Procedure and Late/Missed Starts Timing and Results Helmets must be worn at all times while you are riding or sitting on a bike. Vail Resorts has yet to take interest in Peavine Mountain. We will wait patiently. Start order is the order you get in line at that stage. If you don t like who you are following, wait out a rider or two to increase your gap. After the first stage - Starters are instructed to allow extra ghost rider behind Beginners if time allows. Riders must follow directions of the starter. Racers will be given a 5 second countdown to their start. Some stages allow a rolling start and time is triggered when they cross the start marker. Others must be one foot down, with the front wheel behind the start time until the GO signal is given. Any racers arriving at the start of a race stage later than the sweep, may miss their chance to be timed on that stage and will not have a compiled finish time for the event. Don t let the sweep pass you. They are instructed not to pass anyone unless that person tells them they are no longer competing. All riders will be timed by a chip attached to the back of their race plate, and on a tag around their seat collar. Do not bend plate when attaching it to your bike as it may damage or interfere with the timing chip. Do not cut, fold or alter your handlebar number plate where your printed number is not visible. A secondary number must be displayed on your body visible from the rear. Towards the bottom of a camelback or attached to jersey is acceptable. Stage finishes will be marked with orange signs on stakes and a timing pad on the trail. All riders are asked to not approach the stage timers unless asked. Report any issues to the Chief of Race at the Main Start/Finish. Interim times and rankings may be updated throughout the event online at (not promised due to cell coverage) Please notify a finish official if you will not be completing a stage or the race. In case of withdrawal from one Stage, the racer is allowed to take part in the rest of the Special Stages. However, the rider will not be included in the General Classification (overall ranking) of the race. Claims and Penalties Marshals will be situated along the course to monitor for any rule violations. Claims regarding the race progress itself or the attitude of other riders must be put forward to the Race Director (located in the Village) within 30 minutes of the race finish of the last rider. The Race Director is authorized to give additional penalties that are not listed in the CES rules in the case of a rider who fails to respect the other riders, the spirit of the sport, the environment or the organization.

If you want to shuttle during practice that is up to you. Most designated routes on Peavine are open to 4WD high clearance vehicles. If you are not familiar with the road system, I am not recommending you drive up there, nor will take any responsibility in helping get you out should you get lost or stuck. Several local tow companies offer off-road recovery in that area starting around $250/hour. The Peavine Access Road off North Virginia (half mile north of Stead Blvd., unmarked) is how many folks shuttle Peavine. It is doable in a moderate clearance vehicle, but 4wd is still recommended. The drop off location to access Mahogany Forest Trail is also not marked. Watch out for people shooting guns and playing banjos. Outside Assistance Emergency Response Racers are encouraged to help fellow competitors on course. Any competitor receiving outside assistance during a timed Special Stage from a non-racer will be disqualified. This includes using team staff/outside help to carry equipment around the course or perform repairs during the race. Emergency Response personnel will be on course during the race, staffing UTV s and ATV s. Washoe County Sherriff Special Vehicles Unit and Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District. If you approach an injured rider please check to ensure they are ok. Please let the nearest course marshal know if there is an injured rider. They will have a copy of the Medical Plan and contact list. If the rider is unconscious then please stay with them or have someone stay with them until the EMT or course marshal arrives. We will stop

7 the event for a serious injury and will do our best to restart the affected riders. First Aid There will be a medical tent at the Start/Finish for wound wash after the race.
