WELCOME TO THE 2016 ROCKWELL RELAY

Welcome to the 2016 Rockwell Relay!

This is the seventh year we have held this race and we hope you have an awesome experience. I am grateful to have co-founded this event with Dan Stewart and will shed a tear as he, Courtney Stewart and others who have made this race what it is ride away from the Start line in Moab. 2016 marks the first year the race will operate as a non-profit under the new ownership of Charity Vision. I am excited that your participation in the race will bless the lives of others by providing 1 sight saving surgery for $25 in proceeds.

Your bib will include the name of someone that has been given the gift of sight because you are riding. That is such a powerful and amazing thing!

We have put together an incredible team of volunteers and staff to support you and make your race experience Rock! Please look for the leadership team in button down Rockwell Relay shirts, and the crew in Rockwell Relay polos and Neon yellow t-shirts. We are here to serve you and help in any way we can!

Special thanks to the volunteers, Charity Vision staff, committee members, and you the riders for making this event happen.

Be safe out there and enjoy the incredible scenery that Utah has to offer!

Tyler ServossCo-Founder and Race Director

EVENT SUMMARYRACE OVERVIEWThe Rockwell Relay is a timed race in the tradition of a European GranFondo. Some teams are racing to best the 2014 course record, some to beat their previous records, and others just to complete the course and claim bragging rights as finishers of this epic relay.

RELAY FORMATThe race is a four-person team relay format, with cyclists changing positions at established exchange points. The race continues non-stop, with each rider completing three legs and team totals includ-ing 12 legs and approximately 525 miles. The event is non-supported, with team vehicles providing necessary food, water, and supplies.

MANDATORY START TIMEEach team will have picked a start time of either 7:00am, 9:00 am, or 11:00am on Friday. This is done so that teams finish the race closer to the same time. Your total time will be based off of your registered start time, so make sure you double check that your are starting in the correct group! Otherwise your time will be incorrect.

Racing is neutral until the police escort ends after leaving Moab.

RELAY BATON - RACE CHIPAt the start line, each team will be issued an ankle timing race chip. The chip must be worn on the ankle or it will not read your times at the exchanges. The chips should be swapped between riders after the current (finishing) rider crosses the timing mat.

TIMINGThe race clock will not stop. Cyclists will be chip timed by race of-ficials. Timing begins for each team based on their registered start time of 7:00am, 9:00am, or 11:00am. Cyclists will be timed at each exchange point, with a final team time at the finish line. Your accu-mulated time will determine your placement.

RACE RESULTSRace results will be available online starting at 9:45am Saturday morning. See them at http://www.milliseconds.com/races/detail/rockwellrelay/ Corrections or disputes may be addressed at the finish line timing booth. See Itinerary for scheduled posting times. Final results will also be posted on the website the week following the race.

Splits times will also be available after the race has concluded and the results are posted online.

AWARDS CEREMONIESA first awards ceremony for men’s and women’s open categories will be held at 3:00 pm with a dispute period from 1:30 to 2:30 pm.

A second awards ceremony will be held at the finish line at 6:00 pm, when category prizes and raffle winnings will be given. Riders must be present to claim awards unless prior arrangements have been made with the race directors.

SAFETYThe Rockwell Relay is an open course, long distance event and relies upon each cyclist and vehicle driver to be responsible for his or her personal safety as well as the safety of other participants, race of-ficials, and the general public.

The race organizers reserve the right to disqualify and pull the race numbers of any participants posing a safety risk to themselves or others.

HELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.

CLIMATESome course sections are expected to top 100 degrees. Be sure and have at least 10 gallons of water/fluids in your support vehicle, particularly between exchanges 1 and 5 as water sources are very limited. This is southern Utah in the summer. In addition, the moun-tain passes during the nighttime hours can be below 32 degrees so have plenty of cold weather gear as well. Four years ago included

snow, rain and 100+ degree weather – it can happen!

We will be racing through a wide variety of weather and light condi-tions and the dangers are very real. The race will go on: heat, rain, snow, sleet or shine. Bring adequate clothing, food, and fluids for every condition. Be Prepared!

NIGHT RIDING – LIGHTS Each rider must have a white front light that is visible from at least 500 feet and a red rear light also visible from 500 feet. The re-chargeable high wattage types are recommended. If you use this type, you should have two sets and a car charger. If you are not using the rechargeable type, be sure to have an adequate supply of batteries. All riders are encouraged to carry a backup light. This could be a headlamp.

REFLECTIVE CLOTHINGReflective clothing is required by UDOT. Riders must wear a reflec-tive safety vest between the hours of 8:30 pm and 6:30 am.

7

NIGHT RIDING – OTHER Be particularly watchful for cattle guards (there are several) and other road hazards. Do not ride faster than what your lights can reveal. Support vehicles are encouraged to stay near their riders during night hours.

Riders will not be allowed to leave exchanges between 8:30 pm and 6:30 am without lights and reflective vests. We encourage you to use lights before and after these times. Ride Defensively!

Be smart and safe. Use the shoulder, ride single-file, listen for traffic, etc. Don’t assume motorists will see you. Stay heads up!

OBEY TRAFFIC LAWSCyclists must obey all traffic signals and lane travel laws. Please stop at all traffic signals and stop signs. Even though this is a planned event, it’s an open course and all bikers are subject to traffic laws.

SUPPORT VEHICLESObey all traffic laws. Obey posted speed limits. Allow plenty of travel time between exchanges so you are not tempted to speed or take unnecessary risks.

Support vehicles are not allowed to impede highway traffic in any way. You may leap frog your rider to cheer for them at various points along the route, but only stop in areas where you can pull completely off of the road. UDOT has issued our permit on the basis that our support vehicles will not impede the flow of traffic.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW TRAFFIC LAWS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDI-ATE DISQUALIFICATION, WHETHER BY CYCLIST OR SUPPORT VEHICLES.

EMERGENCY CONTACTSIn case of a life threatening emergency, call 911 for local emergency services. Please report all injuries or accidents to a director:

David Barlow 801-830-5363 Tyler Servoss 801-888-3233

EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMESOver the course of the race, cyclists will quickly cover a wide area and local emergency responders may not be able to arrive at a given spot for some time. Support vehicles should carry a first-aid kit and other supplies deemed necessary for an emergency, and stay in the general proximity of their riders (especially at night).

We recognize that not all teams will have phone coverage in some areas. If possible, team vehicle phones could include various mobile providers to widen the coverage range.

PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE ANDJUST BE SAFE!

DECIPHERING YOUR BIB NUMBERS

8

Brazilian lyricist Paulo Coelho believes that “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” The universe may well have united to help Asha, mother of three blind children, caretaker to a blind sister, and one among millions in Bihar who strive to provide for her family on less than $1 a day. It’s hard to imagine the grind of Asha’s life. So many to care for on so few dollars.

Poverty is halting, but blindness is crippling. Asha recognized the absolute need to eliminate her children’s blindness in order for them to get an education and stop the poverty cycle--she wanted this more than anything else. The stars aligned when a CharityVision doctor found Roni (age 7), Anug (age 5), and Archana (age 4) in bustling Bijar, India. After check-ups and surgeries at no cost to Asha, her children are not only able to see, but to read and write in the classroom. Getting an education is one of the grand benefits of reversing blindness, as is time spent with village friends climbing mango trees. The trajectory of one family’s life has completely changed because kind people exist in the world. The universe wouldn’t be nearly as productive in making dreams come true without the likes of you.

For more than 25 years, CharityVision has been focused on empowering local physicians in developing nations to overcome curable blindness and poor vision by providing eye exams, glasses, surgeries and eye-care clinics. The CharityVision model encourages entrepreneurship and sustainability in impoverished regions, joining the incentives of capitalism with the motivation of helping others. In 2015, doctors in CharityVision clinics around the globe restored the sight of more than 40,000 patients in 25 different countries. 70,000 patients were given eyeglasses—they see clearly now. The non-profit works efficiently to turn each $1 donation into $100 in medical services. For every $25 donated, a sight-restoring surgery is performed. CharityVision aims to eliminate needless blindness one surgery at a time.

EVENT RULESHELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS ANY TIME THEY ARE ON THE BIKE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.

TRAFFIC LAWS Riders and vehicle operators must obey all traffic laws. This is not only for your safety, as outlined in the Safety section, but for the goodwill of the event and Rockwell Relay.

PUBLIC URINATION – DON’TLet’s face it, no one wants to see a bunch of people in Lycra peeing on the side of road. Public urination is one of the biggest complaints from citizens in regards to bicycle events. Regular rest rooms or port a-potties will be available at each exchange or nearby. If you must make a stop between exchanges, try to find a rest room or be discreet.

NOISEWe will pass through several rural communities during the evening and night. Please keep noise levels to a minimum in these areas, just as you would expect others to do if the race came through your neighborhood.

COMPETITIVE TEAMS ANDNON-COMPETITIVE TEAMSCompetitive teams will be expected to adhere to each and every rule in the race bible. Competitive teams not following all the rules will be disqualified as deemed necessary by race officials.

Non-Competitive teams are asked to follow all rules but can bend some rules if needed to finish the race. All teams are expected to follow ALL safety rules (including No-Aero Bars).

If a competitive team wants to switch to a non-competitive team they may do so markering over their category designation on the bib numbers. Non-Competitive teams will have white bib numbers and bike plates. We hope this will make it easy to distinguish; as we don’t want teams pointing fingers at non-competitive teams for ‘bending’ some rules.

Open Class teams are considered to be competitive teams.

CYCLIST NUMBERSBib numbers are to be worn by each rider and displayed on the back of the jersey. If jackets or rain gear are worn, race officials will rely upon the frame numbers for identification. Frame numbers may be mounted under the top tube or attached to the seat post, depending upon rider preference.

Bib numbers are color coded to reflect your category. They also show your teams start time, team name, and which cyclist you are. This way you can “know” who you are riding with and trying to chase down.

LEG ROTATIONBe strategic and study the course before deciding who does which legs. Team riders must submit and follow a predetermined leg ro-tation schedule at the start line. This is largely for your safety, so the race officials know who is on a given leg from each team in the event of an emergency. Competitive/Open Teams: If you must make changes to the rotation please inform race directors by calling Tyler Servoss at 801-888-3233.

Competitive Teams: If a rider is unable to finish, the team will be dis-qualified from the official results and will be moved to the Non-Com-petitive category. We would still encourage you to ride and enjoy the scenery and friendship along the way as a Non-Competitive team.

Non-Competitivee Teams: If a rider can’t finish their leg, a substitute rider may take the place of the current rider. The substituting team-mate must start at the point that the exiting rider stopped. If a rider is unable to finish the race altogether, teammates may complete that rider’s legs.

RIDER EXCHANGESAll rider exchanges must occur at the chute just after the timing exchange point. The incoming rider will transfer the baton (ankle bracelet) to the next cyclist at the chute, who will then carry the baton to the next exchange.

DRAFTINGOther registered teammates (of the same team) may ride with their teammate to pace / draft with their cyclist. Riders may draft and work with other teams if they desire. SUPPORT CREW CANNOT PACE OR HELP DRAFT A COMPETITIVE CYCLIST.

SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS NOT SAFE.

AERO-BARS & TT BIKESAero-Bars and TT Bikes will not be allowed for the race. No exceptions.

NON-COMPLIANCE // CHEATINGRace officials, exchange officials, volunteers and others may report alleged infractions to the race directors, and non-compliant teams may receive a time penalty or disqualification. Any penalty given is at the sole discretion of the race directors. Photos / videos of alleged rule vialotors helps the directors make a sound call, so if possible take a photo / video of the incidence and notify a director at the finish line.

EVEN IF THE RULE IS NOT WRITTEN, IT MIGHT BE CHEATING. IF IT’S QUESTIONABLE IT’S PROBABLY CHEATING.

JUST DON’T CHEAT...

POLICIES & GUIDELINESRIDER SUPPORT BETWEEN EXCHANGESRiders may receive mechanical and feed support between exchang-es from their support crews. When providing support for your rider please stay heads up and only stop when you can do so completely off of the roadway. Remember, support vehicles are not allowed to impede highway traffic in any way.

SUPPORT VEHICLES MAY NOT FOLLOW DIRECTLY BEHIND THEIR CYCLISTS - THIS IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND IS NOT SAFE.

Riders are advised to carry a spare tube and co2 or mini pump and plenty of food/fluids in case support vehicle is not readily available. It is also advisable to carry a phone if possible.

BE COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY We rely heavily upon the support of local communities, and we want their officials and residents to have a very positive feeling about the event and its participants. Please be polite and considerate to every-

one so they will want us back every year.

Also, we greatly appreciate and need the sponsors and volunteers that man the exchange points and everyone that assists us and you in so many ways. Please tell them “thank you” whenever you see them.

REFUND POLICY The refund policy is that there are no refunds. This is true regard-less of road conditions, course changes, weather factors, sickness, or anything else. Your consolation is knowing that some of your reg-istration fee goes to our charity sponsor, Threshold Gives, for their great work in helping get your charity dollars to the charity you want.

ACCIDENT AND LIABILITY WAIVER POLICYYou can read the accident and liability wavier policy on the website, and each cyclist will be required to sign a form during registration packet pickup.

As you de-scend from Boulder down to the Escalante river, you will thoroughly enjoy cycling down the famous ridge at mileage 6.3 with steep drop offs on both sides of the road. You will feel as though you are cycling in the clouds. As you near the Escalante River you will pass the Calf Creek Gorge (home of Calf Creek Falls) on the right. Excellent views from atop the road down to the green bottom of the gorge are breathtaking. Shortly after climbing up from the river on the other side you come to a windy section of road that contours a rugged white slickrock. At mileage 26.1 you will pass through the town of Escalante and begin an ascent back into Dixie National Forest. After reaching a mild summit, you wind down the narrow canyon and end in the town Henrieville, population 164.
