Posted by richpaul in - You are required to obey all traffic signs. That includes the stop sign when you come off Franktown Road back onto old 395. Last year we had several individuals rolling through that stop and it caused us some issues with the local homeowners association. It is only a few seconds so take the time to stop. This is a quality course and we don’t need the hassle of having the association fighting us everytime we want to use this course.
- Do not come back to the finish line to check your time. If you absolutely need to know you can wait until I get back to the registration area or you can set your timer on your cyclometer when you start the event. The finish area is too narrow for cyclists to be sitting on the other side of the road waiting for finishers to come in. Vehicles coming from that direction end up slowing down and crossing over the center line into the lane of the participants as they are finishing in order to avoid the people on the shoulder. I don’t need one of you causing someone else to become a hood ornament.
A course map can be found here http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3630048, please stay as far to the right as possible except when passing another rider or avoiding debris on the road.
I will have a current Wheelmen membership roster for waiving the series registration fee. If you are going to join the club do it tomorrow or wait until after the event. If you are not a member you will be required to pay the series registration fee in addition to the event fee. I am willing to grant you a one time waiver from this fee if you forget it or don’t know about it but you will pay it before being allowed to register at another twilight event. This fee is applicable to all riders. Women and Juniors will still not be charged an entry fee for the events but are required to pay the registration fee.
Tickets will be available at the event for $10.00 each or for $8.00 if you are a Wheelmen member, if you have not yet paid your membership you will be charged the $10.00 fee, I will print a list on Tuesday evening, if you pay your membership during the day of Tuesday please bring your paypal receipt. If you still have tickets left from last season they are still valid. Tickets are not available in the shops with the exception of Bicycle Bananas. Tickets at the shop are $10.00 each, no discount for being a Wheelmen member.
You will be getting your new numbers for the season. Please do not throw them away or lose them, it is your number for the rest of the year. If you forget your number please let me know and I will give you another copy of that same number. If you forget or lose the second one you will have to pay a $5.00 fee for a new number. You are required to wear your number at each event and last years numbers are not valid.
See you on Tuesday.
