Reader's 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.

Outsiders know life is for the living
We've just eased past the halfway mark on this year's Subaru Triathlon Series. Doesn't it give you that same feeling - a kind of queasiness mixed with exaltation - that you get when you're halfway through a triathlon? That slight mingling of fear and anticipation, pushing yourself forward and hanging back... that's the sign we're pushing the envelope just a little bit, isn't it?
Certainly, it's one of the reasons we Merrell people refer to ourselves as outsiders. We love the outdoors, obviously, but testing our limits, going outside our comfort zone is where we're most comfortable. Not comfortably numb, mind you, but comfortably alive. Tingling. Breathing, living, energetic. And that ability to feel the fear and do it anyway is not only a major part of the triathlon, but also the major part of a life well-lived. Isn't it?
If you're still hanging back about making the leap to barefoot, this is a great time to try it out. Head on over to our website and bust through another barrier.
