Technical Support / Pit
Riders must display number bibs at all times on all courses for practice and race sessions. All coaches/parents of 14-and-under athletes pre-riding the courses will be required to sign a waiver and pick up a “coach” number at registration. Numbers must be displayed on the coach/parent at all times.
Course pre-rides are only allowed during open course times found on the event schedule. The course is not open in between races so there will be no allowed pre-riding in between any scheduled racing. Please note the course you are racing will be color-coordinated to the color of the bib you are wearing. You may only practice at the determined times for your course.
Pit passes are required for all junior and all UCI races and are limited to 2 per rider.
Power washers in the pit are reserved during the day for race use only. Pre-ride and pre-race riders should use the neutral wash to clean off their bikes.
