2) Riders are responsible for checking their own times.

Mistakes happen, people have terrible hand writing. It is your responsibility to review your time card to help catch these things. Bring a watch. Sync it with the master clock. Look at your card to see what is being written at each checkpoint. Let the checkpoint know if you see an error. Fix the error. Make sure your card is legible so the times don't get messed up when loaded in the CPU. If their is an error let the people at the CPU know when you hand in your card. If you do not let us know about an error prior to the final tally you are SOL. Sorry.

3) Riders must go through every checkpoint for their division and follow the marked course.

Failure to go through every checkpoint or get caught shortcutting course (even un-timed sections) will result in a Did Not Finish. Period.

4) Riders must wear a helmet and be self sufficient.

Wear a helmet and any other protective gear that you feel is most appropriate for the situation. Experts are strongly encouraged to wear full pads for the last downhill.

Being self sufficient means that you are on your own while out on course, don't rely on the kindness of a stranger to have a spare tube, or a pump, or an energy bar, or spare water, or a coat if it starts snowing, or a band-aid, or a...... You get the point. Volunteers on course try to help out where they can but you can't rely on that.
