8 Rider Information 8 Rules of the Road Cycling safely and considerately is vital to ensuring the safety of other riders as well as your enjoyment of the tour. The future of cycling events in Colorado depends on your cooperation with the rules below. Courage Classic is a tour conducted on roads with vehicular traffic. Roads include both marked and unmarked hazards. Though we go to great lengths to make the ride as safe as possible, always remember that safety is your responsibility and follow these rules when riding: Courage Classic is a tour, not a race. We welcome riders of all skill levels, including families with small children. Please be aware and considerate of others throughout the route. Wear a helmet at all times: NO EXCEPTIONS. Carry ID and relevant medical information. Headphones and ear buds are prohibited. Rules of the road apply; cyclists have the same rights and duties as drivers of other vehicles. Ride single file where necessary, with a maximum of two abreast when conditions allow; do not impede traffic. Ride as far right as reasonable. Obey all traffic lights, signs and regulations. Pass on the left only, and announce your presence with Passing, Hello, and On your left. Do not pass if you see a double yellow line. Use hand signals to indicate any road hazards, stops, slowing, right and left turns. Pack snacks, water and weather gear. Respect other riders, volunteers, host communities, motorists, pedestrians, law enforcement and the environment. Please note: We reserve the right to close the course at any time due to weather, safety or other emergencies. If you are riding with children, please review our helmet rules and sag wagon information. TOUR SUPPORT Medical Attention If you feel dizzy, sore, excessively tired or if you have an injury, medical volunteers are available at all aid stations, along the route as biking and motor medics, and at the Finish Line. Medical volunteers dress in red medic jerseys or t-shirts, and offer basic first-aid services. For more severe injuries, they are in contact with emergency medical services. If you need acetaminophen or ibuprofen, please bring it with you on your ride or be prepared to sign a release at the aid station. Aid Stations Aid stations are located throughout the route. Check your Route Map or Courage Classic app for exact locations. Each aid station is staffed by volunteers and will offer food, hydration and bathrooms, as well as medical and mechanical support. Please keep your bike off the side of the road when stopping.

9 Sag Wagons If you (and your bike) need a lift up a hill to the next aid station or to the Finish Line, sag wagons (vans with bike racks) are located throughout the course each day. To catch a ride, you will need to be on a road (versus a bike path). Pull your bike off the road to a safe spot, and flag down the approaching sag van. Your route map will help you identify the best places to find sag wagons. Please note: Riders with trailers and tandem bikes may wait longer for a sag van due to space limitations. Riders with children who need a car seat are required to wait for our van outfitted with car seats. The sag wagon stop at the bottom of Vail Pass has a high volume of need, so your patience is appreciated. Sag wagons at this location transport riders to Vail Pass Rest Stop Aid Station at the top of Vail Pass, not to Copper Mountain Resort. At Vail Pass Rest Stop, riders can choose to complete the ride or wait for another sag van to take them to Copper Mountain. Emergency Phone If a participant needs medical attention, please use your cell phone to call: Medical Supervisor, Jason Kotas (303) In a life-threatening emergency, call 911, then notify Jason Kotas. Bicycle Repairs Mechanics from sponsoring bike shops are at the Finish Line and aid stations along the course to help riders with bike repairs. If a fix requires a fee, please coordinate directly with the bike shop for payment. Be sure to thank your mechanic for supporting Courage Classic! 9
