Event Rules

​

This event is a self-supported, endurance bicycle event along the gravel and dirt roads, marked forest trails and other marked pathways of Three Sisters Park. Even though the course is closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic there may be occasional support traffic crossing the course as directed by course stewards. While there are opportunities for outside assistance, it is imperative to remember that you are responsible for you. Please review our rules and suggestions. If you have further questions, we are here to help – Cycledelic24@gmail.com

​

1. Cycledelic Athletes must utilize an approved bicycle. This bicycle must:

   • Consist of a frame mounted on two wheels, one behind the other

   • Have a seat and have handlebars for steering

   • Be propelled solely by the operator via two pedals connected to the rear wheel by a chain or belt. Class 1 e-bikes (Pedal Assist) are permitted for participation only but are not eligible for award placement. Class 2 and 3 E-bikes are restricted from the course.\

   • Have two hand-operated brakes (fixed gear and coaster brake bikes are not exempt from this rule)

2. Athletes must wear a helmet while operating their bicycle.

3. Athletes must be equipped with either a helmet or handlebar mounted head light during dark hours.

4. Athletes must pass over the timing mats at each of the official checkpoints. Only full laps completed prior to event completion times will count. Partial laps will not.

5. Athletes are responsible for themselves throughout the duration of the event. This includes:​

   • Navigation of the course. While the course will be pretty well marked, we will have course maps and the 4-mile loop will be open for pre riding the morning before the event. We have navigation resources for you which includes GPS files and cue sheets. We will also have some course stewards as well.​

   • Support Crews, friends, and family members are NOT allowed on the course.​

6. The primary route must be followed at all times. No short cuts or alternate routes are permitted. 

7. If you intentionally exit the course for food, supplies, or any other reason, you must re-enter the course at the same spot at which you left. 

8. If you get lost, you shall make every reasonable attempt to backtrack to the point where you left the course; or to re-enter the course as soon as possible and without gaining an advantage. 

9. Note: “Advantage” is not defined by race position. 

10. All athletes must attend Rider Sign-In on Saturday before the event starts race day to receive their event packet. (Full Schedule of Events will be available on the website closer to the event date).
