From the Desk of the HandicapperA couple of reminders to all riders: 1. Marshals can NOT stop traffic. Which means that riders who blast through corners at speeds where they cannot slow to allow traffic through when it has right of way are breaking the rules and putting themselves and the rest of the peloton in danger. 2. Riders can NOT cross the solid single or double white line regardless of the line that they may which to take through a corner.
Both of these incidents occurred during the recent twilight race at lookout hill. Particular mention goes out to B grade! In future all riders failing to abide by these rules will find themself disqualified.
