Rider Conduct
POLICIES
SUPPORT CREWS & FEED ZONES
Riders should remember at all times that they are representatives of their sponsors, USA Cycling (USAC), and the race’s
sponsors and conduct themselves appropriately. Silver City is a
rural area and local residents are not used to large numbers of
cyclists. Traffic rules are to be obeyed at all times. All roads are
open to traffic, except during the criterium. Ride as safely and
courteously as possible and obstruct traffic as little as possible.
Riders will wear approved safety helmets at all times when riding,
including warm-up, for the entire duration of the race. Riders are
strongly encouraged to wear a helmet at all times when riding in
the Silver City area. Riders will be courteous to the many volunteers who are donating their time and effort to allow this race to
happen.
Awards
General
Feed zones for the road race locations are clearly marked on the
course descriptions. Beginning and end of feed zones will be
marked by signs. All feeding will take place in these designated zones. Directions to feed zones are in course descriptions. Please follow those directions. Support crews should position and conduct themselves in feed zones and en route to feed
zones and finishes so as not to endanger other race participants
or bystanders. Neutral water will be provided in all feed zones
and the finish lines at each road race. Check course descriptions
for locations. Please pick up all trash in feed zones. Help us
keep the wilderness wild!
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Jerseys will be awarded daily. Winners’ bowls will be handed out
on Sunday at Pinos Altos Opera House in the village of Pinos
Altos. Cash awards (bank checks) will be mailed to each team
using the information provided by the team manager. No cash
awards will be handed out on Sunday.
Race Numbers
Only the race numbers provided by the race committee may be
worn. Numbers may not be folded or trimmed. Numbers should
be worn on the lower back, to be read horizontally.
Road Closure
UCI Women will have rolling closure for riders in contention and
will be permitted to use the entire road except on four lane roads
where they are restricted to the right side. Riders outside the
police envelope must obey the centerline rule and stay as far
right as practical. NM 15 from Pinos Altos to the intersection of
NM 35 will be closed for the Thursday and Sunday races.
We hope everyone has a safe race and stay in Silver City. However, should you require emergency medical attention during the
race, paramedics will be available at various locations along the
courses. Law enforcement and/or official support vehicles following the race should be able to notify paramedics if needed. At
other times, in the Silver City area call 911 for emergency help.
Riders requiring medical transport will be taken to:
Gila Regional Medical Center
1313 - 32nd Street
Silver City, New Mexico 88061
phone (575) 538-4000
In extreme cases, riders may be transported outside of Grant
County. For information, please contact our Medical Director,
Michelle Pahl, MD, at 575-313-9738.
GILA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
We, here at in the Emergency Department (ED) at Gila Regional Medical Center, are proud to be serving Silver City and the surrounding area,
and are dedicated to excellence in patient care. We wish all participants in the 2015 Tour of the Gila, a safe and exciting time while you are in
Grant County.
In the event that you require the services of our Emergency Department and Providers, there are a few things that you should be aware of and
have with you in order for us to provide you with the best care possible.
Please have with you:
- proper identification
- health insurance coverage information, if applicable
- current medication list that includes the dose and how often you take it
- a list of any adverse side effects or allergies to medications that you have experienced in the past
- information about any physical health problems
- names and contact information for your primary care provider and medical specialists
With such an amazing event in our community, please understand that we may be experiencing higher volumes of patients, and there may be
a longer wait time.
Triage is the process of prioritizing sick or injured people for treatment according to the seriousness of the condition or injury. When you see
the triage nurse, a decision is made about the seriousness, or “acuity” of your problem, and patients are prioritized per this triage process.
When the Emergency Department is very busy, the more serious problems are seen first. This creates a wait for some patients - we want you
to understand why, at times, patients may have to wait longer than anticipated to see a provider.
PLEASE, if you are a patient here in the ED, DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING UNTIL CLEARED BY A PROVIDER. If you require surgery,
eating and drinking anything will delay your care.
Our mission is to provide our patients exceptional quality, patient-centered care in a healing environment. We want to make your visit the
most pleasant experience possible.
