As you enter transition to check your bike and gear in you will pass through a MANDATORY bike check. Please ensure your bike is in safe, working condition. Securely fasten all equipment you may carry with you on race day. After your bike has been approved you must place your bike in the appropriately numbered spot on the bike racks. Full bike covers are not permitted.

You will have access to your bicycle and gear bags beginning at 4:45 am on race morning. You will not be allowed to remove your bike from the transition area until the start of the bike portion of the race. It is encouraged that you bring any nutrition items you wish to carry with you on race morning and add these to your gear bags as opposed to leaving it overnight.
