One day licenses holders must ride in the Open category and the team is not eligible for State Medals or State jerseys.   The event is keeping the fees very low so this year. Southwest Hand Cycling Team will NOT be purchasing the Arizona State Championship Jersey for the winners.  However each team category winner has the option to purchase a jersey from Velo Wear. We do not know how many teams will show up and the jersey for each team would cost $240 or $60 per cyclist.  This would make the cost per team $320 or $80 per rider for the event to purchase the jersey. Thank you for your understanding!

Time will be taken on the third cyclist to cross the finish line.  All riders will be given the same finish time.

When picking up numbers all riders licenses must be present and all release forms signed before a number is handed out.

All (USA CYCLING) Rules apply.  Course closes at 6:30am.
 Any racer warming up on the course after the race starts will be disqualified.  No Exceptions.

QUESTION:
What happens if one of are teammate has to rescue an elephant from Alaska and can not make the race?
ANSWER:
First I hope the elephant is saved, you can use an alternate rider >  First the new rider must have a USA CYCLING License annual or one day License.  Second the new rider MUST sign the release form and have the license verified BEFORE they ride.  If you have already pick up the number at early packet pick up and change in the morning the rider WILL use the same number and MUST check in BEFORE the team starts.  IF the rider does not check in the team will be deemed ineligible and DISQUALIFIED from the event.  No exceptions. The Team due to the change may change categories based on the new rider, they will keep their original start time and scored with the correct category.
