TECH REQUIREMENTS - ALL SKILL GROUPS

COACHES: YOU ARE RESONSIBLE FOR ENSURING YOUR BIKE, AND YOUR STUDENT'S BIKE, PASS TECH.

▸ Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 50%+ of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed. We will have on-site tire service at most events, so if your tires don't pass, you may have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech. Please contact us to confirm tire service will be available at your event.
▸ All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or removed.
▸ Side mirrors must be removed for Race Practice and  Advanced group and at least taped over for all other groups.
