Safety & Rules


 

  • All riders must carry wear their bib number pinned on the back of their jersey, and place the timing chip on their helmet. Riders without a bib number and chip will be refused support and/or checkpoint supplies and will not receive a finishing time. "Bandit riders," and/or anyone who brings a "bandit" will be banned from all future Planet Ultra events.

  • Helmets are mandatory. All riders must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet at all times while cycling. No exceptions!!! You will be DQ'd without warning if you're seen riding without your helmet. No matter how hot it gets on the climbs - keep that helmet on your head!

  • All riders are responsible for knowing and obeying all traffic laws, including stopping at lights and stop signs. Riders who break laws may be ticketed by local law enforcement and/or disqualified from the event.

  • Ride safely and in control. Ride to the right, single file when necessary, but no more than two abreast at any time. Protect and warn one another about road hazards and traffic. Don't overlap wheels. Practice safe paceline and group riding etiquette. Any cyclist who is deemed to be riding unsafely, discourteously or recklessly will be disqualified from the event. Remember, it's a ride, not a race. Your safely is your responsibility.

  • ABSOLUTELY NO PRIVATE SAG.

Planet Ultra reserves the right to disqualify without warning every rider who violates any of the above rules, or for any other safety violation or other unsportsmanlike conduct.
