EVENT SUMMARY
RACE OVERVIEW
TIMING
The Rockwell Relay is a timed race in the tradition of a European
GranFondo. Some teams are racing to best the 2014 course record,
some to beat their previous records, and others just to complete
the course and claim bragging rights as finishers of this epic relay.
The race clock will not stop. Cyclists will be chip timed by race officials. Timing begins for each team based on their registered start
time of 7:00am, 9:00am, or 11:00am. Cyclists will be timed at each
exchange point, with a final team time at the finish line. Due to the
staggered start format, your accumulated time will determine your
placement.
RELAY FORMAT
The race is a four-person team relay format, with cyclists changing
positions at established exchange points. The race continues nonstop, with each rider completing three legs and team totals including 12 legs and approximately 525 miles. The event is non-supported,
with team vehicles providing necessary food, water, and supplies.
RACE RESULTS
Race results will be available online starting at 9:45am Saturday
morning. See them at http://www.milliseconds.com/races/detail/
rockwellrelay/ Corrections or disputes may be addressed at the
finish line timing booth. See Itinerary for scheduled posting times.
Final results will also be posted on the website the week following
the race.
STAGGERED RACE START
Each team will have picked a start time of either 7:00am, 9:00 am,
or 11:00am on Friday. This is done so that teams finish the race
closer to the same time. Your total time will be based off of your
registered start time, so make sure you double check that your are
starting in the correct group! Otherwise your time will be incorrect.
Splits times will also be available after the race has concluded and
the results are posted online.
AWARDS CEREMONY
Racing is neutral until the police escort ends after leaving Moab. We
encourage all team members to begin together at the start line and
ride to the outskirts of Moab together. The returning cyclists should
be cautious of traffic and obey all laws.
An awards ceremony will be held at the finish line at 6:00 pm, when
category prizes and raffle winnings will be given. Riders must be
present to claim awards unless prior arrangements have been
made with the race directors.
RELAY BATON - RACE CHIP
BOTTOM LINE
At the start line, each team will be issued an ankle timing race chip.
The chip must be worn on the ankle or it will not read your times at
the exchanges. The chips should be swapped between riders after
the current (finishing) rider crosses the timing mat.
This is an event to be remembered and be proud of! The sense
of personal and team accomplishment, plus the camaraderie you’ll
experience, is awesome. Just ask any previous Rockwell Relay rider.
And the scenery you’ll pass is the icing on the cake!
SAFETY
The Rockwell Relay is an open course, long distance event and relies
upon each cyclist and vehicle driver to be responsible for his or her
personal safety as well as the safety of other participants, race officials, and the general public.
snow, rain and 100+ degree weather – it can happen!
We will be racing through a wide variety of weather and light conditions and the dangers are very real. The race will go on: heat, rain,
snow, sleet or shine. Bring adequate clothing, food, and fluids for
every condition. Be Prepared!
The race organizers reserve the right to disqualify and pull the race
numbers of any participants posing a safety risk to themselves or
others.
NIGHT RIDING – LIGHTS
Each rider must have a white front light that is visible from at least
500 feet and a red rear light also visible from 500 feet. The rechargeable high wattage types are recommended. If you use this
type, you should have two sets and a car charger. If you are not
using the rechargeable type, be sure to have an adequate supply
of batteries. All riders are encouraged to carry a backup light. This
could be a headlamp.
HELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY
ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.
CLIMATE
Some course sections are expected to top 100 degrees. Be sure
and have at least 10 gallons of water/fluids in your support vehicle,
particularly between exchanges 1 and 5 as water sources are very
limited. This is southern Utah in the summer. In addition, the mountain passes during the nighttime hours can be below 32 degrees so
have plenty of cold weather gear as well. Four years ago included

REFLECTIVE CLOTHING
Reflective clothing is required by UDOT. Riders must wear a reflective safety vest between the hours of 8:30 pm and 6:30 am.

SAFETY CONTINUED
NIGHT RIDING – OTHER
EVENT RULES
FAILURE TO FOLLOW TRAFFIC LAWS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION, WHETHER BY CYCLIST OR SUPPORT
VEHICLES.
Be particularly watchful for cattle guards (there are several) and
other road hazards. Do not ride faster than what your lights can
reveal. Support vehicles are encouraged to stay near their riders
during night hours. In case of a life threatening emergency, call 911 for local emergency
services. Please report all injuries or accidents to a director:
Dan Stewart Michelle Lyman Cort Stewart Tyler Servoss
Anita Stewart
Be smart and safe. Use the shoulder, ride single-file, listen for traffic,
etc. Don’t assume motorists will see you. Stay heads up!
OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS
801-809-0086
801-941-5526
801-643-4673
801-888-3233
801-809-0083
Over the course of the race, cyclists will quickly cover a wide area
and local emergency responders may not be able to arrive at a given
spot for some time. Support vehicles should carry a first-aid kit and
other supplies deemed necessary for an emergency, and stay in the
general proximity of their riders (especially at night).
SUPPORT VEHICLES
Obey all traffic laws. Obey posted speed limits. Allow plenty of travel
time between exchanges so you are not tempted to speed or take
unnecessary risks.
We recognize that not all teams will have phone coverage in some
areas. If possible, team vehicle phones could include various mobile
providers to widen the coverage range.
Support vehicles are not allowed to impede highway traffic in any way. You may
leap frog your rider to cheer for them at various points along the
route, but only stop in areas where you can pull completely off of
the road. UDOT has issued our permit on the basis that our support
vehicles will not impede the flow of traffic.
PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND
JUST BE SAFE!

9-2881 COMPETITIVE
Riders and vehicle operators must obey all traffic laws. This is not
only for your safety, as outlined in the Safety section, but for the
goodwill of the event and Rockwell Relay.
Competitive Teams: If a rider is unable to finish, the team will be disqualified from the official results and will be moved to the Non-Competitive category. We would still encourage you to ride and enjoy the
scenery and friendship along the way as a Non-Competitive team.
Let’s face it, no one wants to see a bunch of people in Lycra peeing
on the side of road. Public urination is one of the biggest complaints
from citizens in regards to bicycle events. Regular rest rooms or
port a-potties will be available at each exchange or nearby. If you
must make a stop between exchanges, try to find a rest room or be
discreet.
Non-Competitivee Teams: If a rider can’t finish their leg, a substitute
rider may take the place of the current rider. The substituting teammate must start at the point that the exiting rider stopped. If a rider
is unable to finish the race altogether, teammates may complete
that rider’s legs.
NOISE
We will pass through several rural communities during the evening
and night. Please keep noise levels to a minimum in these areas,
just as you would expect others to do if the race came through your
neighborhood.
RIDER EXCHANGES
All rider exchanges must occur at the chute just after the timing
exchange point. The incoming rider will transfer the baton (ankle
bracelet) to the next cyclist at the chute, who will then carry the
baton to the next exchange.
COMPETITIVE TEAMS AND
NON-COMPETITIVE TEAMS
DRAFTING
Competitive teams will be expected to adhere to each and every rule
in the race bible. Competitive teams not following all the rules will
be disqualified as deemed necessary by race officials.
Other registered teammates (of the same team) may ride with their
teammate to pace / draft with their cyclist. SUPPORT CREW CANNOT PACE OR HELP DRAFT A COMPETITIVE CYCLIST.
Non-Competitive teams are asked to follow all rules but can bend
some rules if needed to finish the race. All teams are expected to
follow ALL safety rules (including No-Aero Bars).
DECIPHERING YOUR BIB NUMBERS
11-2881 OPEN CLASS
Be strategic and study the course before deciding who does which
legs. Team riders must submit and follow a predetermined leg rotation schedule at the start line. This is largely for your safety, so
the race officials know who is on a given leg from each team in the
event of an emergency. Competitive/Open Teams: If you must make
changes to the rotation please inform race directors by calling Dan
at 801-809-0086.
PUBLIC URINATION – DON’T
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES
Cyclists must obey all traffic signals and lane travel laws. Please stop
at all traffic signals and stop signs. Even though this is a planned
event, it’s an open course and all bikers are subject to traffic laws.
LEG ROTATION
TRAFFIC LAWS
EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Riders will not be allowed to leave exchanges between 8:30 pm and
6:30 am without lights and reflective vests. We encourage you to use
lights before and after these times. Ride Defensively!
HELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY
ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.
SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND OR
IN FRONT OF THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS
NOT SAFE.
If a competitive team wants to switch to a non-competitive team
they may do so markering over their category designation on the
bib numbers. Non-Competitive teams will have white bib numbers
and bike plates. We hope this will make it easy to distinguish; as
we don’t want teams pointing fingers at non-competitive teams for
‘bending’ some rules.
AERO-BARS & TT BIKES
Aero-Bars and TT Bikes will not be allowed for the race. No
exceptions.
NON-COMPLIANCE // CHEATING
Open Class teams are considered to be competitive teams.
Wind Jammers
Race officials, exchange officials, volunteers and others may report
alleged infractions to the race directors, and non-compliant teams
may receive a time penalty or disqualification. Any penalty given
is at the sole discretion of the race directors. Photos / videos of
alleged rule vialotors helps the directors make a sound call, so if
possible take a photo / video of the incidence and notify a director
at the finish line.

CYCLIST NUMBERS
Bib numbers are to be worn by each rider and displayed on the back
of the jersey. If jackets or rain gear are worn, race officials will rely
upon the frame numbers for identification. Frame numbers may be
mounted under the top tube or attached to the seat post, depending
upon rider preference.
EVEN IF THE RULE IS NOT WRITTEN, IT MIGHT BE CHEATING. IF
IT’S QUESTIONABLE IT’S PROBABLY CHEATING.
Bib numbers are color coded to reflect your category. They also
show your teams start time, team name, and which cyclist you are.
This way you can “know” who you are riding with and trying to chase
down.

POLICIES & GUIDELINES
RIDER SUPPORT BETWEEN
EXCHANGES
Riders may receive mechanical and feed support between exchanges from their support crews. When providing support for your rider
please stay heads up and only stop when you can do so completely
off of the roadway. Remember, support vehicles are not allowed to
impede highway traffic in any way.
SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND
THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS NOT SAFE.
Riders are advised to carry a spare tube and co2 or mini pump and
plenty of food/fluids in case support vehicle is not readily available.
It is also advisable to carry a phone if possible.
TEAMWORK
Riders may draft and work with other teams if they desire. During
the last mile of the course, all cyclists from a team may join the
current rider and cross the finish line together, if a sprint is not anticipated against opposing teams.
BE COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY
We rely heavily upon the support of local communities, and we want
their officials and residents to have a very positive feeling about the
event and its participants. Please be polite and considerate to everyone so they will want us back every year.
Also, we greatly appreciate and need the sponsors and volunteers
that man the exchange points and everyone that assists us and you
in so many ways. Please tell them “thank you” whenever you see
them.
REFUND POLICY
The refund policy is that there are no refunds. This is true regardless of road conditions, course changes, weather factors, sickness,
or anything else. Your consolation is knowing that some of your registration fee goes to our charity sponsor, Threshold Gives, for their
great work in helping get your charity dollars to the charity you want.

This leg is a significant climb that follows the Fremont River (upstream) most the way. At mileage 29.0 you will enter
Capitol Reef National Park. This park is one of the last great secrets in the USA. As the sun sets in front of you the
light will illuminate the towering red cliffs. The historical town of Fruita at mileage 37.4 shows how early settlers of
Utah lived. The green fruit trees of Fruita contrast beautifully against the red cliffs overhead. The aroma of La Cueva’s
delicious mexican food will be beckoning you to the Torrey Exchange.

LEG 6 NOTES
From Torrey start climbing up UT-12 into the Boulder Mountains. Hit the pedals hard - It’s the Arches - King of the
Mountain! The climb is steep up to a false summit at mileage 15 then after a short descent and 5 more miles of
climbing you will hit the Boulder pass. Take a moment to enjoy the view to the east. The mountains seen in the
distance are the Henry Mountains that you just passed earlier in the day. After the summit you have a steep descent
down to the quaint town of Boulder. Take caution and watch for cattle, deer, and elk on the road during the descent.

This section of State Road 12 is what makes it famous! It just cannot be put into words, but here we go with a meager attempt. As you descend from Boulder down to the Escalante river, you will thoroughly enjoy cycling down the famous ridge at mileage 6.3 with steep drop offs
on both sides of the road. You will feel as though you are cycling in the clouds. As you near the Escalante River you will pass the Calf Creek
Gorge (home of Calf Creek Falls) on the right. Excellent views from atop the road down to the green bottom of the gorge are breathtaking.
Shortly after climbing up from the river on the other side you come to a windy section of road that contours a rugged white slickrock. At
mileage 26.1 you will pass through the town of Escalante and begin an ascent back into Dixie National Forest. After reaching a mild summit,
you wind down the narrow canyon and end in the town Henrieville, population 164.

Shortly after leaving Henrieville you will pass through the small towns of Cannonville and Tropic. In Cannonville at mileage 3.4 you can find
a visitors center for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. After Tropic enjoy the views to the west of Bryce Canyon National
Park from below. At mileage 10.9 you will enter the Park. The road winds up the cwanyon with spectacular red hoodoos all around. Yes, the
official name is a hoodoo. Reach the summit at mileage 14.4 and stay on top of the plateau for about 9 miles, then begin the descent into
Red Canyon. Again more hoodoos in every direction and pass though the 2 red rock tunnels at mileage 24.4 and 24.5. At the bottom of Red
Canyon take a right on UT-89 and finish the leg into Panguitch.

In Memoriam
of Kyle Harvey
Kyle had a passion for being outdoors. Most of his time was spent forming lasting friendships through cycling, hiking, rock climbing, or camping with friends.
Kyle always put family first and was a best friend to each of his sisters. Sadly,
all of this still wasn’t enough. Kyle’s suicide came as such a shock to all of us.
There were no signs that he was struggling. Our family wants people to know
that suicide is not the answer. There is help for those who are struggling. Tomorrow
is a new day. Reach out to those around you. Communicate and ask for help if
you are struggling. Tomorrow will be a new day with new opportunities. You are
loved more than you can imagine.
To Kyle’s cycling family - Thank You for making him feel like a part of
you. Kyle lived by his motto:
“Bike26
to Work, Work to Eat, Eat to Live, Live to Bike.”

FINISH LINE NOTES
What better way to finish the Rockwell Relay than with a 3,000 foot plus descent into St. George. Pass through the cedar and
juniper rich mountains south of Enterprise and then descend down through the ancient volcanoes near Veyo. Obey all traffic
rules and stoplights in St. George. If desired the 3 team members can meet up with Cyclist #4 near the top of Diagonal St.
to finish the half mile of the course together. Stay on the right and enter the marked chutes and you’ll be at Bluff Street Park.
Victory! You have made it and deserve a good rest and time to relax. The Bluff Street Park is the ideal place to relax, or nap in
the shade and get the rest you need. Congratulations!
We highly encourage all riders from each team to cross the finish line together. You can park at Bluff
Street Park, back track on your bicycle, and then ride across the finish line in a blaze of glory together!
Then you don’t have to worry about your vehicle. It’s a good idea. Also...

THE HEART OF THE RELAY
KOM
qom
Ever wonder who actually puts this event on? Sometimes it’s nice to put a face to the people running the show. Here we are. Feel free to give us a pat on the back, or a kick in the backside for
encouraging you to enroll in such a strenuous event.
Daniel Stewart
Dan is the founder and creator of the Rockwell Relay. His hard work and dedication is why we are all here. Dan likes to bike (surprised?), ride motorcycles,
kayak, and rock climb. Most of all he likes to do these with this family. How he
fits in all of these activities, none of us know. He’s the one to thank.
Michelle Lyman
Michelle connects all the dots. Dotting “i’s and crossing t’s” is what makes this
event work. People sometimes ask what it takes to put on an event. It’s not
one or two big things, its a million small details. Endless details. And Michelle
slays those details.
king of the
mountain
Cortney Stewart
Cort is the behind the scenes guy. Being a “Back-Row-Joe” is the name of his
game. He handles all the visuals. If you see it, Cort designed it. You’ll find Cort
attempting to be the local creeper along the course. Cort likes moustaches,
mowhawks, and simplicity. His wife hates moustaches...
Tyler Servoss
9000
Tyler’s probably the most enthusiastic about cycling from the bunch. He lives
for the race. Tyler helps promote and get the word out to as many cyclists as
possible. Tyler will be here to help with anything we need him to, he’s classy
like that. ...you’ll know him by his pedal power thighs.
Jeffrey Stewart
This guy cooks the books and the burgers. Without Jeff we’d be blowing all
your registration fees on bubble gum and taffy. This year Jeff will be setting
up the course to make sure you don’t get lost. It’ll take him 2 full days... This
guy deserves a hardy salute.

claim the king/queen of the mountain
Arches Health Plan is the proud sponsor of the King of the Mountain hill climb. The challenge begins
at the start of Leg 6. As soon as you leave the gate your time is ticking! The climb goes all the way to
the summit of Boulder Mountain. It’s just shy of 24 miles and comes in at a solid 3,375 ft of climbing!
Do you have what it takes to grit through and be the best of the best?
The King and Queen will be crowned at the finish line and will receive their prizes there.
• Without you there would be no race. So, THANK YOU!
30
*The timing will be done with the current chip timing system which means only 1 cyclist per team is able to
participate in the challenge.

VISIT
There are also MANY volunteers that help make this wonderful event possible. And we would like
to thank YOU, the cyclists, for believing in us enough to cart yourself down to Utah’s south desert
for what we hope is truly an experience of a lifetime.
