Cycling

Rules:

The event will be governed by International Cycling Union rules (https://www.uci.org/regulations/3MyLDDrwJCJJ0BGGOFzOat), except as modified herein. All races will be videotaped as part of the scoring/timing effort.

Format:

10 kilometer closed course time trial (5K for juniors), 30 kilometer road race, and 20 kilometer team event.

10 kilometer time trial – the winner in each age group will be the individual with the lowest elapsed time. Juniors will compete in a 5 Km event.

30 kilometer road race – each age group will have a separate start but age groups can start closely together. Juniors are not permitted to compete in the 30 Km event. Competitors will have a maximum of 75 minutes to complete the race (men 70 and over and women will have 90 minutes).

20 kilometer team time trial – teams of three riders (two for women) will compete in men’s, women’s and mixed; teams will be ranked by the finish time of the slowest cyclist. Teams in the mixed race must have at least one woman. Juniors are not permitted to compete in the 20 kilometer team race.

Equipment:

Helmets meeting UCI safety standards must be worn. Bicycles must be in a safe and rideable condition – any frame type is acceptable. There will be a mandatory safety inspection for all competitors. Aerobars and time trial helmets are not permitted in the road races. Colored bibs worn on the back will be used to differentiate the age groups. Timing chips are to be used for scoring.
