The More Serious Rules

The sponsors, organizers, and anyone having anything to do with this race are NOT responsible for your safety. Think of this as a 100+ mile training ride with prizes. I can’t say this enough…..YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU!

1. The Cedar Cross is a self-supported solo competition. Your problems are your own.

2. Each rider is considered to be on a private excursion and remains solely responsible for any accidents in which he or she may be involved. No responsibility can be accepted for riders becoming lost or stranded.

3. Competitors may not advance on the route by any means other than bicycling or in the case of a mechanical, by foot.

4. In case of emergency, competitors may be assisted by motorized transport. By accepting motorized transport you will automatically relinquish your standing in the race.

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

On that note, anyone caught cutting or ”lengthening” the course and falsely claiming to be a true finisher of the Cedar Cross will be tarred and feathered, then kicked in the balls until they throw up. I hate liars.

6. You are completely on your own. Use your head. Look and yield for traffic. There will be no course marshalls to hold up traffic. Don’t be a dumbass!

7. Riders must wear an ANSI or Snell approved helmet, must obey city, county and state laws and Rules of the Road, and conduct themselves in a manner that will not bring discredit to the event.

8. All riders must have a flashing red taillight and front light. A cell phone is also a good/great idea.

9. Racers will be supplied a course map, a.k.a Cue Sheet.

10. This event will happen regardless of rain, sleet, snow, drought, wind…whatever. If the trails are wet, we will ride an alternate route.

11. Have at least a pit crew of 1 to help you if you have problems. The people and sponsors associated with this race will not come get you or be responsible for you!

12. Drafting is allowed, but don’t be a jerk about it. The last thing I’d ever want is for this to turn into a damn road race.
