SAFETY
Helmets are mandatory. You do NOT have to show helmets at registration. SCOR will have helmets available for purchase in the
registration area. It is recommended that each rider bring (2) water bottles, a tube, patch kit, tire levers, pump, a spare tire and warm clothing in layers that can be shed as the day warms up. Bring rain gear if need be. Do NOT leave clothing at SAG stops.
THIS IS NOT A RACE!
PLEASE BE COURTEOUS OF LOCAL DRIVERS AND TRAFFIC. PLEASE OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS! The CHP and Sheriff's Dept. will again be on the course to direct traffic at key intersections. Thanks!
NOTE:
Riders who violate vehicle code laws, ride unsafely, are discourteous, rude or dangerous to other riders (or law enforcement personnel) will not be allowed to enter future SCOR events.
Be sure to come to a complete stop at all stop signs and all red traffic signals not controlled by law enforcement personnel.
RIDE SINGLE FILE, PLEASE!
Pacelines - If you ride in a paceline, please announce "on your left" when passing other riders. Please understand that you assume all liabilities and risk for riding in a paceline. Please pass riders on their left with at least two feet of clearance between you and the rider you are passing. NO PERSONAL SUPPORT VEHICLES PLEASE!! TRIKKE BIKES ARE PROHIBITED. Headphones, Walkmans and iPods are forbidden by law.
PUBLIC URINATION
Please DO NOT urinate in public!! Use the Port-A-Potties we provide at SAG stops!!
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol will be providing intersection control throughout the courses. Please follow their directions. At unmanned intersections and on the route, please obey all applicable vehicle code laws. These roads are open to normal traffic, but are generally lightly traveled due to the rural nature of the area.
RAFFLE
A number of prizes have been donated by our sponsors, vendors and local Solvang merchants. All prizes will be raffled off at 3:00 P.M. You MUST be present to win! Be sure to place your raffle stubs in the raffle drum located in the Event Merchandise booth before starting the ride!
POST-RIDE BBQ LUNCH
The Hotel Corque will be providing their excellent BBQ half chicken meal as in the past from 11:00 Am to 5:00 PM on a first come, first serve basis. Cost is NOT included in entry fee. Tickets are available for pre-order on entry form or at the event on the day of the ride.
