Rules Of The Road

For an enjoyable day while riding the Mt. Challenge, please use common sense and courtesy while you are on the road.

To help ensure your safety and the safety of others, we remind you:

• Remember this is a tour, not a race or an endurance event.
• Please choose a route which matches your riding capabilities.

You must obey all rules governing vehicle traffic on public roads.

California Vehicle Code rules will be enforced by local police and the CHP.

You must:

• Ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of roadway
• Ride single file on all roads
• Pass only when it is safe
• Stop at all stop signs
• Control your speed on descents
• Ride defensively
• Share the road with cars

Other Things To Remember

• It is the rider's responsibility to bring a bicycle in safe working condition.
• You should carry a water bottle, a spare inner tube and patch kit.
• It's also a good idea to bring a snack in case you are hungry before rest stops.
• Always carry identification and an emergency telephone contact and phone number.
• Minors under the age of 18 must ride with a responsible adult. All minors must carry the Medical Release Form signed by a parent or guardian (see application).
• Helmets are required by law for minors under the age of 18. SCCCC club policy requires every rider, regardless of age, to wear an ANSI-approved helmet.
• No alcoholic beverages are permitted.
• Do not leave your bicycle unattended. SCCCC is not responsible for lost or stolen property.
• SCCCC reserves the right to refuse participation to any rider not conforming to the rules listed.
