Things YOU need to know! Welcome to 6WC. Thank you for participating in our 7th annual event at Warrior Creek and supporting continued BMCC-built trails at the Kerr-Scott Dam and Reservoir. The Pit Area and Race Central will will revert to the 2013 layout. See the attached map (pages 2 & 3), and note the labeled parking areas. The race will travel through the paved portion of this campground area. All cars parked in this area will not be allowed to leave until the official conclusion of the race. Volunteers and signage will direct you to the parking areas upon arrival. Please carpool. Gate opens at 7:00 am on Saturday. Registration will open at 7:30. Course will be available to pre-ride on Friday. We will also have registration available from 3-5. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to leave anything (pop-up tents, etc) in the Warrior Creek Campground before Saturday morning. Restrooms: There is a bath house and pit toilets near the start/finish and park areas (see map on pg 2). The bath house has full service restrooms (they flush!). Showers are available in this facility and can be used after you are done suffering. Please keep these restrooms clean. Post-Race Awards and Festivities: The meal, awards and festivities will be at the amphitheater (see map). Bring a blanket and lawnchairs with you if you got 'em and plan to hang out for good food and good times. The US Army Corps of Engineers have graciously allowed us access to this awesome place. 6WC participants, spectators and sponsors are the only ones here…so enjoy it, and please respect the grounds. Alcohol is not allowed in the Warrior Creek Campground at any time. Do not litter anywhere (including out on the course). Pack all trash out. Official Rules Category Combinations: Race promoters reserve the right to combine classes and have the final say on the results. Rider’s Meeting: 9:30 a.m. All solo riders and at least one rider from teams must be present. Start: Mass Start. 10:00 a.m. 1st lap will include pavement as shown on the race map. Any postponement of start time (i.e. an hour later, etc) due to weather or trail conditions will be announced at registration by 8am. General Info: 1. Timing. Each racer will be responsible for one timing chip. Timing chips will be affixed to your number plate. Please keep your number plate on the front of your race bicycle. 2. Transition. After crossing under the timing truss, exchanges may happen anywhere on the pavement before entering the woods. 3. Numbers: Participants must display their number on the handlebars at all times. 4. Helmets: If you are on a bike, you are wearing a helmet. No exceptions. 5. Rider Support: Water/food may be supplied to participants anywhere, but exchanges must be made clear of the course and other riders. 6. Passing: When approaching slower riders be vocal: i.e. “coming up” or “rider up.” Slower rider will let you know where to pass. In more open areas faster riders may yell “on your right” or “on your left” before passing. Be courteous. When vying for position, lead rider does not have to give way. Lapped or slower riders should always yield to leaders. Racers riding their bicycles have the right of way over those off their bikes. Anyone pushing or carrying bikes must be on the least-rideable portion of the trail when being passed. 7. Shortcutting: Don’t do this. We don’t want to embarrass you or remove you from this sweet event. Should a mechanical or other problem occur, you have two choices: 1. finish the lap with your bike, or 2. Leave the course and return to the place you left. You must inform a race official if you are using option 2. 8. Last lap: Last lap must be started by 3:40. All racers must be finished by 5:00. Those still on the course when time is called will be given the same time and their positions will be frozen. Final placement will be on the number of laps + sequential order of finish. 9. Laws: All Federal, State, and Local laws/ordinances must be obeyed by all participants. 10. Alcohol: Again, alcohol is not allowed at Warrior Creek. Please obey. 11. Protest Period and Awards: Once the final results are posted, you will have 15 minutes to protest. You must be on site to receive any swag and prizes for placing on the podium. Any unclaimed prizes will be added to the raffle for all participants.
