COVID-19 Interim Rules...
Masks - Mandatory for all riders, anytime you stop you need to wear your PPE mask, this includes Aid Station stops, rest stops, at 'STOP' signs, traffic lights, Strat line, you get the idea, you stop you put on your mask.
No Drafting - Sorry, you will have to make without shaving your time with those precious few milliseconds; anyway, it's a ride, not a race, remember ;)
Social Distancing - Keep your distance, if you can do it in the grocery store you can do it here too, keep in mind at least a bike apart from each other at all times (when possible). We will do our part with the Start Line, safely distancing all riders.
Self Sufficient - Please keep our volunteers and others safe by bringing enough water and food for your entire ride. Although we will provide hydration and food at the Aid Stations, try not to use them.
No spitting or snorting - Very self-explanatory.
As few stops as possible - To prevent you from having to wear your mask... you're welcome!
No high fives - This is as tough for you, as it is for us.
*These rules are subject to change, in accordance with the direction of the BC Provincial Health Authority at the time of the event.
