No feeds allowed on course except under discretion of the race officials. Sleeveless jersey/shirts are NOT allowed in USAC events.
Warming up on the Course Once the last rider has crossed the line in the current active wave, the officials will allow riders to
“pre-ride” the course so they can become familiar with route. Please enter the course just past the finish line and do not pass or enter
in front of riders who are still racing on the course. As in the past, while pre-riding do not cross the finish line while the timing system
is running and do not pass active racers on course. There will always be enough time to complete one lap before the next race starts.
Once the next race has started, warming up on the course is not allowed.
