If you do not have a photo id, you will not be able to race. If you are not a USAT member, you likely paid your $10 fee with your registration fee, if not, you will be asked to pay at packet pick up. All youth 17&Under must be USAT members or can purchase a full year membership for $5 at the race site if you have not purchased already. 2. Parking: Volunteers will direct you to parking, please DO NOT PARK on the side of the roads - this is your race course and you will be impeding the race flow, thanks!! 3. Biking before and after the event: the local police ask that you please obey traffic laws and wear a helmet when riding your bike before and after the event. 4. Toilets/Facilities: There will be portable toilets in the parking lot adjacent to the transition area and more restrooms and showers in the pool area. 5. All racers must wear an AMB timing chip to be scored. You will pick up your timing chip on race morning at the white tent behind the race finish line and return it at the race finish line. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at the finish line. 6. Wrist Bands: We will be placing a wrist band on each racer when you pick up your race packet. This wrist band is your "full access" pass to all areas of race weekend that are limited to racers, race staff, and race officials. Please keep this band on for identification purposes. It is intended to be for your safety and to control the race atmosphere. Thanks so much! 7. Packet Pick Up: Packet Pick Up Opens at 4:30 pm on Friday and closes at 8 pm.
