Trail Race Etiquette:
The following are excerpts for your
information:
"Traditional rules of racing apply: The leading rider owns the track.
The overtaking rider is responsible for passing. If you are being
lapped, you are not the leading rider!"
"Riders passing should be aware of the potential for danger if the
slower rider has a lesser skill level."
Please see SORCA's website http://www.sorca.ca
for complete details.
