Important Safety Information

• We request that all participants arrive early so that everyone can start on time. Our police closure of certain areas in the first three miles is limited to those who start with the main group at 7:30 a.m. If you do not start with the main group you will not have the police closure and you will need to follow all traffic laws departing Davis.

 

• To ease congestion on some of the smaller roads on the edge of Davis we will start in waves of roughly 300. We will try to make the waves work with the numbers in each distance (105, 70, 45, 20). Please line up by the flags with your distance on them and follow start instructions from announcers and staff.

 

• Once you reach the edge of Davis around mile three you are under the California Vehicle Code and are expected to follow all of its rules and regulations. Local agencies and even our hired off-duty officers will not hesitate to hand out citations.

 

• A small detour around construction takes place on the 105 and 70 mile routes, but does not appear on the website. The course will be well-marked and the detour adds no extra distance or climbs.

 

• Please look at the map on the website before Sunday. We had a large change to the 105 mile course. The section on Hwy 128 is now an out and back. This adds no distance, but does add a little climbing and also removes a few slightly dangerous spots from the course.

 

• Power Stop #2 and #5 are set back off the course a hundred meters or so. Please watch for signs. When exiting Power Stop #2 please use the sidewalk and bike bridge to re-access course.

 

• CAUTION signs are for real!! We don’t put them out to make extra work for ourselves. Please heed them. Slow down means slow down and proceed with caution!!

 

• Use extra caution on the descent on Hwy 128 from Lake Berryesa. It is smooth without too many blind corners, but it gets some traffic on weekends. CHP will be patrolling.
