Races will be conducted with 1 vehicle, 2 people and 2 bicycles (bikes can be swapped out at any time and there may be a surplus of bikes).
Rider “A” will begin on bicycle following designated route. Rider “B” will drive vehicle past rider “A” and park. At which time, Rider “B” will begin riding bike along route. When Rider “A” catches up with the parked vehicle, he will drive vehicle past Rider “B” park and the leap frog routine begins again.

The driver of the vehicle during the race may only be one of the two riders.
Only one person my ride in the vehicle at a time until the end of racing (neutral finish).

Suggestions
Each rider should carry a set of car keys.
There should be a spare key stashed on the vehicle (hide-a-key) – just in case.
Bring shovel and other emergency items in vehicle (in case vehicle gets stuck off pavement.)
Use an orange cone (or other obvious object) on the edge of the road to mark where you have parked your vehicle so it can be easily spotted by your rider. This is especially useful if the vehicle is on a side road or parking area and cannot be easily seen on approach.
Be prepared for a variety of weather and road conditions.
Carry enough supplies on your person or bike in case you need to be out away from your vehicle longer than expected.
Refer to the cue sheet often. Course is unmarked and will require some minor navigation skills.
