1 Welcome to the Delta County Century Ride September 18, 2016 First and foremost, have a fun and safe ride. We have marked some of the road hazards on the course and put up signs alerting motorists to your presence. The rest is up to you. We expect you to obey state traffic laws and ride in a safe manner. Please communicate your intentions to other riders (for example, calling out On your left ) and show courtesy to automobiles and other bicyclists. We encourage you to wear a bicycle helmet while riding in the Delta County Century Ride (DCC). Envelope Contents RIDE MAP: A ride map which includes all routes is in your packet. Rest stop opening and closing times are listed on the maps. ROUTE MARKING: The route is very well marked. Each corner has at least two arrows. There are also color-coded above the ground directional signs along the route. The signs will look like the one shown below. TEAM PARTICIPATION: If you are on a team, you must have your wristband marked at each rest stop along your chosen route. Look for the team checkin signs at the rest stops. Your wristband must be returned to the High School by 4PM or your mileage will not count toward the team total. Start early enough so you can finish by 4PM. IDENTIFICATION WRISTBAND: Each rider will have one of these. You must have your band fastened on your wrist to be served at the rest stops or to be serviced by Road Side SAG safety vehicles. Your wristband will also help identify you in case of emergency. T-SHIRT: If you signed up for a t-shirt, you will receive it at registration in the size that was identified on your registration form. Exchanges will be made only after all ordered t-shirts are distributed. BREAKFAST TICKET: If you signed up for the breakfast, it will be noted on the registration envelope and you should have a breakfast ticket in your packet. THE RIDER SURVEY: Your thoughts are important to us. Please fill out the survey and drop it in the box at Gladstone High School fax it to or mail it to the Chamber, 230 Ludington Street, Escanaba, MI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE/REPAIRS: From 9AM to 4PM vehicles patrol the course with the emphasis on the longer routes (although the entire course is patrolled).
