Wade,
Of course the centerline rule will be enforced. As the Chief Ref for this
race I will give instructions to the other officials and the official for
your race will give specific instructions as per what we will be watching
for. The gravel road the race will be on is a two way traffic road, and
although there is not a yellow line painted in the center of the road, you
can clearly tell where center of the road is. The road does have a crest in
the middle and the road slopes away from it. That being said, if you get
caught in the gravel and find yourself over the 'centerline', it would be
best to get back onto the right side of the road as quickly as possible.
Officials and race organizers do not control traffic on the other side of
the road and the road is not closed, so oncoming traffic (although lightly
traveled as this road is) is still a possibility.
