Things will look a bit different this year. Once you get to the race site you will need to complete these steps in order
STEP 1- look for your name on the alphabetical race list and find your race#.
STEP 2- sign and date and put your race # on your waiver (even if you filled out on-line)
STEP 3- hand in completed waiver at the next station where you will pick up your race credential envelope . The envelope has a contents list and instructions on it. (see below)
STEP 4- after you get your envelope, check the contents and then proceed to pick up your t-shirt. There are 3 things in your envelope 1- race bib, 2-bike stickers 3-post race food wristband.
STEP 5- t-shirt pick up (look at your envelope label to see what you selected)
STEP 6- timing chip pick up (if it is a nice day out we will have the chips located near the transition area. If it is cold and wet then you can pick up inside.
Once you have sorted through your envelope please write any medical concerns, allergies or emergency contact info on the BACK of your bib in the designated space. This is for your own protection.
Relay Teams- please have all team members with you when picking up your kit. Each team member must complete and hand in a signed waiver prior to receiving race credentials or t-shirts.

Readers Digest Version of Bike Rules
| | |
1. Always keep right! OAT has condensed the draft zone to 5M in Ontario and in extremely crowded races the referee may elect not to penalize people who are drafting unless they are clearly trying to gain an advantage.
2. When passed you must not accelerate! Allow the pass, then return the favour and pass them if you can.
3. Communicate! When you wish to pass let the person ahead of you know by shouting "on your Left".
4. Listen! Pay attention to the other cyclists. If some tells you they're "on your left" move right as quickly as possible and let them pass safely.
5. Blocking is dangerous. Riding side by side with friends blocks the road for faster cyclists and cars! You could be killed by a car. At the very least you could be penalized.
6. Self Police. If someone is blocking your path and will not move to allow you to pass, make a mental note of their number and file a protest at the end of the race. A good idea is to speak with others around them and ask them to do the same. It's rare that only one person is held up.
7. Never cross the centre of the road! Lines are not always painted on the road. This also applies when cornering - cut the corner and you will be DQ'd.
8. Always assume the road is open to cars! You must share the road!At any time a car may enter the course from driveways etc. Always be mindful.
9-Know the Course. It is your responsibilty to know the course. Please look over the maps posted in this newsletter.
