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. |

New Athletes
If you are preparing for your first race it would really
help to go back and read the information in the
Beginner's Guide as well as read this entire newsletter.Please come mentally and physically prepared! It makes your experience that much better!
"Subaru Canada is a proud sponsor of the Subaru Triathlon Series. Come visit our display area on race day to learn more about Subaru and the chance to win great prizes. Subaru Canada wishes all athletes a great race day and the drive to achieve their personal best"
'Outsider' and 'Orillia' both start with an 'O'
 And so does 'opportunity'. Coincidence? No doubt, but we won't let that stop us from seeing it as another word that starts with O... you guessed it, 'omen'.
So get a load of this: all the events in the Orillia Tri/Du feature a run. Doesn't that make it the perfect opportunity to run in your Merrell Barefoot shoes? We think so. But then, what is not the perfect opportunity to run in Merrell Barefoot shoes?
If you've tried any or all of the Subaru events in barefoot, you'll doubtless answer that even toiling at the office or hanging around the old homestead are perfect for barefoot shoes. If not, here's your chance to find out what the excitement is all about.
Running the way nature intended. What could be better?
Check out Merrell's amazing offer (another 'o' word!) on our website and after the race you'll doubtless exclaim "Oh man!"
