Please arrive 90 minutes before you are scheduled to race. You will need time for traffic, to walk to the venue, warm up, and be at staging (near the start) 20 minutes prior to your event. Pay attention to the race schedules and start times. Find your call-up position, and write your call-up number on your arm with a sharpie. Your call-up number for the following race will depend on where you finish in the previous race. 

Race plates will be available at the races on race day. They will be in two organizers, one for Junior Devo and one for High School riders. The race plate with the chip goes on the front of your bike. The other race plate will be pinned to the side of your jersey.. Twist ties and pins will be available at the race. These will need to be returned after each race.

In all other areas, you MUST be wearing a helmet any time your leg is over the bar of your bike. Ear buds or music of any kind are not permitted while riding. There are team penalties for not following these league rules. 

• Remember during the race, the only place that a rider can get food or water is in the feed zone. There will be a time penalty if you hand anything to a rider or help in any way while they are on the course. 

• If you have a mechanical issue during the race, try to fix it yourself. There is a 5 minute penalty if you receive assistance. Even if someone hands you a tool, it is considered assistance. As a bystander, you can give instructions, but please do not physically help unless asked to do so. You will need to report any assistance to the course marshal at the end of the race. Sometimes it will already be reported, but we need to be honest.
