INTRODUCTION Welcome to the fourth edition of La Ruta Minera! In this document you have all the information you need for your participation in our cyclosportive. Please, read it carefully! We d like to transmit you three ideas to keep in your mind. With your collaboration we hope we could celebrate La Ruta Minera for a long time: 1. IT IS A NON COMPETITIVE EVENT and the roads are open to vehicles. Respect the traffic laws and don t do anything imprudent. 2. DON T THROW RUBBISH ON THE ROAD. The rubbish, first on your pocket and then on the trash bins located on every feeding zone. 3. Stop on every feeding zone and be sure yo ALWAYS HAVE DRINK ON YOUR BOTTLE. If you feel sick, take the wagoon broom. In any case, you must remember that this is only a game. Relax yourself, don t be imprudent and enjoy the experience.
