ADDITIONAL RACE INFO & SPECIFIC RULES (important)
which supplements and supercedes the General Rules and Regulations on our website

1) CRITERIUM - HOW IT WORKS
For example: For the Ladies Open category where the race distance/duration is 30 mins + 3 laps. The ladies will ride for 30 mins. When the 30 mins are up, a bell will be rung to indicate that there are 3 more laps to go.
Scenario 1 - If the lead rider passes the start/finish line after the bell is rung, then the last 3 laps will begin the next time the lead rider comes round.
Scenario 2 - If the bell is rung before the lead rider comes round, the last 3 laps will begin when the lead rider passes the start/finish line.
The bell will be rung one last time to signal the start of the last lap.


2) FREE LAPS
In the event that any rider encounters a mechanical problem, he/she is allowed to perform repairs on the bicycle. No outside assistance is allowed.
The bicycle must be removed from the race course so as to not impede the race. An official may be stationed at that location to ensure compliance.
The rider is given 2 free laps and if he/she joins the race anytime within these 2 free laps, he/she is still in the race. However, if he/she fails to join the race within the 2 free laps, then he/she is automatically disqualified from the race and will not be classified
Scenario 1 - If the rider is the lead rider when the mechanical problem occurs, the 2 free laps will begin immediately i.e. when the new lead rider comes round again, there will only be 1 free lap left.
Scenario 2 - If the rider is not the lead rider when the mechanical problem occurs, the 2 laps will only begin the next time the lead rider comes round.
If the mechanical problem occurs during the last 3 laps, the rider is disqualified from the race.

3) FEEDING
No feeding will be allowed. Riders are to carry their own water bottles/feeding bags and they are not allowed to dispose of them anytime during the race. Any disposal will be considered as littering and dumping on the race course and race organisers shall have a right to disquality the rider.


4) NUMBER TAG LOCATION & ISSUING
Please keep the issued number tags (pair) for the race series 2004 & state your number on the entry form when you register for the next races.
If you have lost your number tags or failed to bring along during race day, a S$5/- replacement fee will be charged for a new one.

Both number tags must be pinned down on all 4 sides:
One on the pocket zone of the jersey and the other in a horizontal position, on the left side of the jersey.
Race organisers have the right to disquality the riders in the following cases :-
i) number tags cannot be seen by the officials; or
ii) number tags cannot be picked up by the stationary video camera positioned at the start/finish line; or
iii) have only one number tag on.

5) RIDERS WHO ARE LAPPED
A rider is lapped if the lead rider passes the lapped rider i.e. the lead rider's rear bicycle wheel passes the front wheel of the lapped rider
If any rider is lapped, he/she will be disqualified from the race and will not be classified. A lapped rider is to leave the race course immediately.
An official may be stationed at that location to ensure compliance and the safety of the riders. Race organisers have the right to disqualify
the rider and take disciplinary actions against the rider due to any non-compliance.

6) CLOSURE OF RACE ROUTE
The race route will be closed and hence, off-limits to any rider. Any rider caught practicing/warming-up on the race route after it has been closed will be issued a warning. A subsequent contravention of this will result in immediate disqualification from the race.
Riders may practice/warm-up anywhere outside the race route. Please practice/warm-up safely and be mindful of traffic conditions at all times.

7) ROLL CALL
A roll call will be done 5 mins before the start of each race and any rider not present during the roll call will be disqualified from the race. There will be ample announcements before the roll call so please stay alert and ensure that you are aware of the race timings at all times.
