WELCOMEWelcome to the 2017 Vision Relay! We are so excited to have you with us! Our team has worked many hours, to make this event the best Vision Relay yet. It is a pleasure to be able to put on a great bike race AND make such a difference for so many, at the same time! Did you know, that the average life span of a blind child in a third world country is 3 years? 80% of all blindness is curable and $25 provides a surgery that can restore sight and save a life. You are helping to make this happen. Thank you!

Please take a moment to thank the many Volunteers, in the high-vis yellow Vision Relay shirts, for the work they have and are doing, to make this event happen. (Quite a few of the volunteers share my last name.) We also have many wonderful, hardworking college students from BYU, UVU, and Utah State.

Our hope, is that you will catch the vision of the mission of Charity Vision and the beauty of the Vision Relay. We hope you will make the event an annual tradition and return with your family and friends! The more people who join our race, the more we are able to help people around the world, by restoring their sight and improving their lives.

I look forward to greeting you at the finish line in Ivins! We will have a cold drink and a slice of Veyo Pie waiting for you!

Tyler Servoss

Co-Founder and Race Director

EVENT SUMMARY

RACE OVERVIEWThe Vision Relay is a timed race in the tradition of a European GranFondo. Some teams are racing to best the 2014 course record, some to beat their previous records, and others just to complete the course and claim bragging rights as finishers of this epic relay.

RELAY FORMATThe race is a four-person team relay format, with cyclists changing positions at established exchange points. The race continues non-stop, with each rider completing three legs and team totals including 12 legs and approximately 525 miles. The event is non-supported, with team vehicles providing necessary food, water, and supplies.

MANDATORY START TIMEEach team will have picked a start time of either 7:00am, 9:00 am, or 11:00am on Friday. This is done so that teams finish the

race closer to the same time. Your total time will be based off of your registered start time, so make sure you double check that your are starting in the correct group! Otherwise your time will be incorrect.

Racing is neutral until the police escort ends after leaving Moab.

RELAY BATON - RACE CHIPAt the start line, each team will be issued an ankle timing race chip. The chip must be worn on the ankle or it will not read your times at the exchanges. The chips should be swapped between riders after the current (finishing) rider crosses the timing mat.

TIMINGThe race clock will not stop. Cyclists will be chip timed by race officials. Timing begins for each team based on their registered start time of 7:00am, 9:00am, or 11:00am. Cyclists will be timed at each exchange point, with a final team time at the finish line. Your accumulated time will determine your placement.

SAFETYThe Vision Relay is an open course, long distance event. Each cyclist or vehicle driver must be responsible for his or her personal safety, as well as the safety of other participants, race officials, and the general public.

The race directors reserve the right to disqualify and pull the race numbers of any participants posing a safety risk to themselves or others.

HELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.

CLIMATETemperatures along the course can range widely: from below 32 degrees (at night, in the mountain passes) to over 100 degrees (mid day, in the desert). Sun, snow, rain and wind are all possible. Plan your gear accordingly, forboth extreme heat and cold. Please have at least 10 gallons of water/fluids in your support vehicle, particularly between exchanges 1 and 5, where water sources are very limited. In addition, have plenty of cold weather gear as well.

In addition to the varying temperatures, you will also encounter a wide variety of weather and light conditions; dangers on the course are very real. The race will go on in heat, rain, snow, sleet or shine. Bring adequate clothing, food, and fluids for every condition. Be prepared!

NIGHT RIDING – LIGHTS Each rider must have a white front light that is visible from at least 500 feet and a red rear light, also visible from 500 feet. The rechargeable high wattage types are recommended; you should have two sets and a car charger. If you are not using the rechargeable type, be sure to have an adequate supply of batteries. All riders are encouraged to carry a backup light. This could be a headlamp.

REFLECTIVE CLOTHINGReflective clothing is required by UDOT. Riders must wear a reflective safety vest between the hours of 8:30 pm and 6:30 am.

NIGHT RIDING – OTHER Be particularly watchful for cattle guards (there are several) and other road hazards. Do not ride faster than what your lights can reveal. Support vehicles are encouraged to stay near their riders during night hours, without impeding the flow of traffic.  

Riders will not be allowed to leave exchanges between 8:30 pm and 6:30 am without lights and reflective vests. We encourage you to use lights before and after these times. Ride defensively!

Be smart and safe. Use the shoulder, ride single-file, listen for traffic, etc. Don’t assume motorists will see you. Stay heads up!

OBEY TRAFFIC LAWSCyclists must obey all traffic signals and lane travel laws. Please stop at all traffic signals and stop signs. Even though this is a planned event, it’s an open course and all bikers are subject to traffic laws.

SUPPORT VEHICLESObey all traffic laws. Obey posted speed limits. Allow plenty of travel time between exchanges so you are not tempted to speed or take unnecessary risks.

Support vehicles are not allowed to impede highway traffic in any way. You may leap frog your rider to cheer for them at various points along the route, but only stop in areas where you can pull completely off of the road. UDOT has issued our permit on the basis that our support vehicles will not impede the flow of traffic.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW TRAFFIC LAWS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION, WHETHER BY CYCLIST OR SUPPORT VEHICLES.

EMERGENCY CONTACTSIn case of a life threatening emergency, call 911 for local emergency services. Please report all injuries or accidents to a director:

Tyler Servoss 801-888-3233

Stephanie Servoss 801-888-3232

EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMESOver the course of the race, cyclists will quickly cover a wide area and local emergency responders may not be able to arrive at a given spot for some time. Support vehicles should carry a first-aid kit and other supplies deemed necessary for an emergency, and stay in the general proximity of their riders (especially at night).

We recognize that not all teams will have phone coverage in some areas. If possible, team vehicle phones could include various mobile providers to widen the coverage range.

PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND BE SAFE!

RACE RESULTSRace results will be available online starting at 9:45am Saturday morning. See them at http://www.milliseconds.com/races/detail/visionrelay/ . Corrections or disputes may be addressed at the finish line timing booth. See Itinerary for scheduled posting times. Final results will also be posted on the website the week following the race.

Splits times will also be available after the race has concluded and the results are posted online.

AWARDS CEREMONIESThe first awards ceremony for the men’s/women’s open categories will be held at 3:00 pm, with a dispute period 30 minutes after the 3rd place finisher in each category.

POLICIES & GUIDELINES

RIDER SUPPORT BETWEEN EXCHANGESRiders may receive mechanical and feed support between exchanges from their support crews. When providing support for your rider, please stay heads up and only stop when you can do so completely off of the roadway. Remember, support vehicles are not allowed to impede highway traffic in any way.

SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS NOT SAFE.

Riders are advised to carry a spare tube with co2 or mini pump and plenty of food/fluids, particularly If a support vehicle is not readily available. It is also advisable to carry a phone, if possible.

BE COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY We rely heavily upon the support of local communities, and we want their officials and residents to have a very positive feeling about the event and its participants. Please be polite and

considerate to everyone, so they will want us back every year.

Also, we greatly appreciate and need the sponsors and volunteers that man the exchange points, as well as everyone that assists us in so many ways. Please tell them “thank you” whenever you see them.

REFUND POLICY The refund policy is: there are no refunds. This is true regardless of road conditions, course changes, weather, sickness, or anything else.

ACCIDENT AND LIABILITY WAIVER POLICYYou can read the accident and liability wavier policy on the website, and each cyclist will be required to sign a form during registration packet pickup.

We’re thrilled about the wonderful change in Sonfi

Mahto’s life recently. Sonfi is a fifty-five-year-old

farmer who lives in a hut with his wife and children

in far away India. It has been three distressing years

since he worked because his vision was seriously

compromised. A laborer needs his eyes as much as

his hands. Blindness was eventual. In utter darkness,

Sonfi grieved because his wife and daughters toiled

in the fields. He admitted that his family was very

sad. Sonfi said, “my daughters are of marrying age,

but are too busy providing for our family to start

their own. We don’t even have money for food

two times a day.” His family was barely surviving.

Fortunately, Sonfi discovered our CharityVision

doctor at the Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital—he did not

have to pay a single coin for cataract surgery, which

is a blessing because he had none to spare. Now

Sonfi is full of hope, with eyes that see and ultimately

enable him to provide for his family.

For more than 25 years, CharityVision has been focused on empowering local physicians in developing nations to overcome

curable blindness and poor vision by providing eye exams, glasses, surgeries and eye-care clinics. The CharityVision model

encourages entrepreneurship and sustainability in impoverished regions, joining the incentives of capitalism with the motivation

of helping others. In 2016, doctors in CharityVision clinics around the globe restored the sight of more than 70,000 patients in 27

different countries. Over 100,000 patients were given eyeglasses—they see clearly now. The non-profit works efficiently to turn

each $1 donation into $100 in medical services. For every $25 donated, a sight-restoring surgery is performed. CharityVision aims

to eliminate needless blindness one surgery at a time.

EVENT RULESHELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.

TRAFFIC LAWS Riders and vehicle operators must obey all traffic laws. This is not only for your safety, as outlined in the Safety section, but for the goodwill of the event and Vision Relay.

PUBLIC URINATION – DON’TPublic urination is one of the biggest complaints about cycling events from citizens. Regular rest rooms or port a-potties will be available at each exchange or nearby. If you must make a stop between exchanges, try to find a rest room or be discreet.

NOISEWe will pass through several rural communities during the evening and night. Please keep noise levels to a minimum in these areas, just as you would expect others to do if the race came through your neighborhood.

COMPETITIVE TEAMS AND NON-COMPETITIVE TEAMSCompetitive teams will be expected to adhere to each and every rule in the race bible. Competitive teams not following all the rules will be disqualified as deemed necessary by race officials.

Non-Competitive teams- if you fall outside the time limits, you can use your vehicles to leap frog, in order to catch up. All teams are expected to follow ALL safety rules (including No-Aero Bars).

If a competitive team wants/needs to switch to a non-competitive team, they may do so by over their category designation on the bib numbers. Non-Competitive teams will have white bib numbers and bike plates.

Open Class teams are considered to be competitive teams.

CYCLIST NUMBERSBib numbers are to be worn by each rider and displayed on the back of the jersey. If jackets or rain gear are worn, race officials will rely upon the frame numbers for identification. Frame numbers may be mounted under the top tube, or attached to the seat post, depending upon rider preference.

Bib numbers are color coded to reflect your category. They also show your team’s start time, team name, and which cyclist you are. This way you can “know” who you are riding with and trying to chase down.

LEG ROTATIONBe strategic and study the course before deciding who does which legs. Team riders must submit and follow a predetermined leg rotation schedule at the start line. This is largely for your safety, so the race officials know who is on a given leg from each team in the event of an emergency. Competitive/Open Teams: If you must make changes to the rotation please inform race directors by calling Tyler Servoss at 801-888-3233.

Competitive Teams: If a rider is unable to finish, the team will be disqualified from the official results and will be moved to the Non-Competitive category. We would still encourage you to ride and enjoy the scenery and friendship along the way as a Non-Competitive team.

Non-Competitivee Teams: If a rider can’t finish their leg, a substitute rider may take the place of the current rider. The substituting teammate must start at the point that the exiting rider stopped. If a rider is unable to finish the race altogether, teammates may complete that rider’s legs.

RIDER EXCHANGESAll rider exchanges must occur at the chute just after the timing exchange point. The incoming rider will transfer the baton (ankle bracelet) to the next cyclist at the chute, who will then carry the baton to the next exchange.

DRAFTINGOther registered teammates (of the same team) may ride with their teammate to pace / draft with their cyclist. Riders may draft and work with other teams if they desire. SUPPORT CREW CANNOT PACE OR HELP DRAFT A COMPETITIVE CYCLIST.

SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS NOT SAFE.

AERO-BARS & TT BIKESAero-Bars and TT Bikes will not be allowed for the race. No exceptions.

NON-COMPLIANCE // CHEATINGRace officials, exchange officials, volunteers and others may report alleged infractions to the race directors, and non-compliant teams may receive a time penalty or disqualification. Any penalty given is at the sole discretion of the race directors. Photos / videos of alleged rule vialotors helps the directors make a sound call, so if possible take a photo / video of the incident and notify a director at the finish line.

EVEN IF THE RULE IS NOT WRITTEN, IT MIGHT BE CHEATING. IF IT’S QUESTIONABLE IT’S PROBABLY CHEATING.

JUST DON’T CHEAT...
