OREGON SENIOR GAMES:

Important Race Info:
Do not use Crow Road or Central Road for your warmup after 9:55am. Please DO NOT pass the start or finish lines after 10:25am unless you are racing. Officials may penalize racers for unnecessarily crossing the finish line wearing a number. Vaughn Road is recommended for your warm-up.
Helmets are required anytime you are on the bike, before, during, or after the race.
Racers are expected to stay to the right as possible unless overtaking another rider (or avoiding drafting). On Crow Road, this includes the very lovely and wide shoulder. Minimizing unnecessary impact on local traffic is important for the continuation of the event.
No drafting.
Do not cross the centerline. Any centerline violations may result in disqualification. There may be marshals on the course for enforcement.
Overtaking riders should call out loudly and pass on the left while staying right of the centerline. Riders being passed should stay to the right and must not block passing riders.
Always be aware of what’s in front of you. DO NOT RIDE WITH YOUR EYES DOWN
