Riding safely

Three rules for every rider, in every grade and every race:

  • Red flashing rear light on, for the whole race. Drivers see a flashing light long before they see a rider.
  • Never overtake a car, including the follow car of another grade. If a car is ahead of the bunch, the race waits behind it.
  • Stay left of the centre line, at all times, including on corners and in the sprint. The roads are open to traffic.

Other notes

No longer raced (last raced September 2024). Graded scratch: a 17 km start lap from Lobethal to the finish line, then 16.6 km laps via Cudlee Creek Rd, Fox Creek Rd, Croft Rd and Miller Rd. Fox Creek Lite (September) uses the same course with fewer laps: A/B/C 50.2 km · D/E/F 33.6 km · G 17 km.
