Version 2 – Published June 24, 2016
Feed Zone: The Feed Zone will be marked approximately 200m past the start line on HWY 623. The Feed Zone is not neutral support. No feeding on the first lap. This is where your friends, coaches, partners can stand to hand you food and / or liquid. In the Feed Zone, accept from the shoulder on the right hand side of the road. Toss empty bottles away from riders as to not danger them. Event Staff: Course Marshalls will be stationed at appropriate course locations and will be wearing reflective vests and may be holding signs. It is each rider’s responsibility to know and follow the race course. Roads will not be closed to traffic. Please pay extra attention at corners and intersections.
Event Vehicles Commissaire Vehicles: During the race you may hear a few quick honks of the horn from the Commissaire Vehicle. This means that following traffic is trying to pass. Please neutralize yourselves briefly until the traffic has passed safely. This also applies when groups of different Categories try to blend together. Wheel Vehicles: There will be cars for each group carrying your spare wheels. Wheels are neutral. The wheel vehicle will service you from behind on the right side of the road and you are responsible for changing your own wheel. Make sure you get a suitable wheel with the right cogset. You will not get any drafting to help you back to the group. If the wheel vehicle passes you, you are outside of the rolling enclosure and must stay to the right and obey all traffic signs and laws. If another group catches up to you, you cannot ride or work with the group or be involved in the final sprint. Wheel vehicles will also work as broom vehicles depending on their capacity to carry bikes.
Parking Parking is available in the Miquelon Lake Provincial Park main parking lot. There is abundant parking, so please absolutely not parking along the race course.
