All competitors are asked to obey the rules of the road and ride on the EXTREME LEFT (except where otherwise instructed). All competitors are expected to be courteous towards each other and avoid reckless behavior which might lead to accidents. 2) All competitors will receive a medal of participation. All competitors should report to the REGISTRATION CENTER on Thursday or Friday evening, to pick up their race packages and to make sure their entries have been received and are in order.
