Mandatory bike check-in starts at 8:15 am and all bikes must be checked in by 09:45 am.

BIKES WILL NOT BE CHECKED IN AFTER 9:45 A.M. FOR SAFETY REASONS BIKES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CHECKED WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE AND THE TEAM WILL BE  DISQUALIFIED.

Bike numbers will be supplied at the bike check-in and must be affixed to all bikes. Team number must be clearly visible on the chest and back of each cyclist. It is the cyclists’ responsibility to have their bikes in safe working order.

Only mountain bikes will be allowed.

Recumbents, e-bikes, and bikes with other forms of non-human power are prohibited in either division.

Gravel bikes and Cyclocross bikes are prohibited in either division. 

The use of any bike other than a mountain bike may place the cyclist’s entire team in Disqualification.

Please use common sense in defining the definition of a mountain bike.

In the event of any confusion about what qualifies as a mountain bike, Comox Bike Co, who are doing the bike checks, will have the final say.

All cyclists must wear an approved (CPSC, ASTM, ANSI or SNELL) cycling helmet with the strap done up at all times. No drafting behind any moving object will be tolerated. No help is allowed with wheel/tire changes or other repairs.

Observe the rules of the road and be aware of other traffic. Yield to traffic where and when necessary.

Volunteers are at intersections for community awareness only. Cyclists do not have any special considerations or rights of way. Use caution and stay on the marked course at all times.

The course will be marked 14 days prior to the event with a pink surveyor’s tape. It is recommended
that cyclists ride the course ahead of race day.

At the Kayak Exchange, cyclists are to dismount and leave bikes clear of the Transition Zone and
then proceed on foot to pass the wrist band to Kayaker and assist in the launch.

Any mountain bike with road bike attachments (aero bars etc.) will not be permitted on the course.
