• The races will be held
under the rules of the UCI/CCA with OCA modifications.
• The CCA rules are on-line at: http://www.canadian-cycling.com/cca/coaches_officials/companion_guide.shtml.
• The penalty scale of the CCA (with OCA
modifications) rulebook will be applicable.
• New for 2010:

• All riders must
sign on at registration on race day at least 25 minutes before their start.
• All UCI-licensed riders are eligible to register.
OCA Citizen Permit holders under the age of 17 may also register. For all other
unlicensed riders, OCA One-Event Racing Permits ($10) will be available for
Under-17 Men & Women, Junior Men & Women, Senior 3 Women, Master
A&B Women, Senior 4 Men and Master 3 Men. Citizen Permits will be available
for purchase to riders under 17 in age. See Table 3 below for a list of
licensing requirements for each category.
• U.S riders with domestic licences must purchase a
One-Event Racing Permit and are eligible to register in the category listed on
their domestic licence or their appropriate Master ability category.
• All foreign licensed riders other than U.S.
riders must produce a letter of permission from their country’s federation.
• An OCA representative will be present at the race
to assist with rider licensing issues. One-Event Racing Permits and Citizen
Permits will be available from the OCA. There are no plans to sell UCI licences
on race day. Please contact the OCA for more details.
• All riders (or parents/guardians) are required to
sign the OCA and CCA waivers, unless they have an OCA-issued licence.
• Races will start promptly at the indicated start
times.
• There will be a minimum of four licensed
commissaires officiating at this event.
• There will not be a team managers meeting.
• There will not be any team vehicles permitted on
the course.
• Any rider dropping
out of the race shall immediately notify a commissaire.
• In the event of a mishap, riders are strictly
forbidden from drafting behind vehicles for lengthy periods in attempting to
catch up to their group. Such drafting may result in disqualification.
• In cases where more than one group is on the
course at the same time, riders must remain separate when overtaking or being
overtaken by riders from other groups.
• Lapped riders
may be pulled at the order of the commissaires, either after being overtaken or just before being overtaken.
Otherwise, lapped riders must remain separate, even when being overtaken by
riders in their own group. Riders who fall
behind by more than 10% of the leaders’ time may also be pulled, but will still
be listed in the results as OTL (outside time limit.)

ensure that their race numbers are readable. Riders whose numbers are
unreadable at the finish may not get a placing and may forfeit their prizes.

dropped from the main bunch must proceed at their own risk and should always,
when possible, ride on the right side of the road with the flow of traffic.
• Team Radios
ARE NOT PERMITTED.
• All riders within a category will finish on the
same lap. Therefore, lapped riders will complete fewer laps than the winner.
• The prize list will be displayed at registration.
Additional primes may be announced on the start line.
• Awards will be presented before the start of the
following race according to the published schedule. Top-3 finishers are

including time-trial bar extensions or other types of tri-bars, are not
permitted.
• As of January 1, 2003, the UCI equipment
regulations now apply to all categories of riders, including Masters,
therefore only bicycles that fit the UCI definition are
now permitted (ie. no Softride or Trek Y-Foil framesets, etc.) See Section 2 of Chapter 3 in the UCI/CCA Regulations.
• Riders are required to wear jerseys corresponding
to the club or team printed on their licence. Independent riders and unlicensed
riders are required to wear plain-coloured jerseys with no significant logos,
