To all CCX riders from the Officials



We have been having large groups at the races, which is great, but we

need your help in making the race run smoothly. Our number one issue

as always is number placement. You can help us by having your race

number placed on the LEFT SIDE of your body. This means race numbers

should NOT be: folded, placed on the middle of your back, on your

stomach, under camelbacks, on the right side of body, or upside down.

You need to make sure that you have enough pins ( at least 4) to hold

the race number corners flat. If your number becomes unreadable, and

you are aware of it, please call it out when passing the officials at

the finish line each lap.

This past race we had a number of folded numbers and badly placed

numbers and under camelback numbers. When a large group of riders come

by and the official is unable to read the number quickly it causes

numerous other numbers to be missed. We want to be able to give all

the riders the laps they actually rode but if we are unable to read the

number second guessing only goes so far...

If you are riding in a race with multiple categories you need to pay

attention and leave when your group leaves ie. Juniors go in one group

and there are 3 Womens groups and each one starts individually. Last

week we had Women B's leaving with the Women A's group.



Thank you
