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.

Here we are at event number 3, and it's the perfect event for outsiders. There are triathlons, duathlons and relays along quiet country roads. Whichever race (or races) you pick, you never even have to leave the park! What a fantastic opportunity for a workout and enjoyment of nature at the same time.

Speaking of enjoying nature, we're hearing a lot from the increasing number of Merrell Barefoot shoe enthusiasts. Everyone's extolling the virtues of the 0-millimetre drop and being able to feel the ground underneath one's feet.

Of course, the change in stride and the more erect posture also help strengthen your core, allowing the body to tune itself up, the way it's engineered to do.

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)
