RULES

Aero Equipment is not allowed at Youth Cup events. This includes (but is not limited
to) aero bars, bar extensions, bar-ends, disc wheels, tri/quad spoke wheels, TT
specific bikes, deep dish style, etc. Carbon wheels are not permitted in Ontario
Youth Cup. The maximum rim depth allowed is 40 mm.

All riders will receive one warning only. This rule applies to all events within the
youth cup.

Disc brakes are not permitted in this series.

The wearing of an approved helmet is mandatory; aero helmets however are not
permitted (includes parents and siblings on the course the day of the event).

Cycling gloves are strongly recommended.

The participants are encouraged to ride on a road-racing bicycle, however other
suitable bicycles may be utilized. Mountain bikes are permitted.

Gearing restrictions are in place for ALL CATEGORIES. All participants must have
gears that roll out to 7.12m or under. For more information and gearing suggestions,
please visit http://www.ontariocycling.org/gear-restrictions-youth-road-cup-series/.
You may want to look at this video as well.

All equipment must be in good repair, have adequate tires and operating brakes.
Bikes may be subject to a safety inspection and unsafe bikes will not be permitted.

The race will be governed by the rules of the UCI with CCA and OCA modifications.

Traffic will be restricted and there will be police and marshals on site. There are
residences on the course however and it will be impossible to ensure that roads will
be completely traffic free. Racers must use due caution.

All riders will be permitted to complete their event and be given a placing.

If you withdraw from a race or from the event for any reason, you must inform the
nearest Commissaire that you are no longer racing. Any unreported DNF may result
in a fine or other severe penalty.
Enforcement of safety related rules remain a priority of the Commissaires. Riders are
encouraged to adopt safe riding practices and safely position themselves within the
pack.

At the finish line, you will see a lap counter matching your race plate colour telling
you how many laps are remaining.

If you are dropped from your group you are not allowed to join a different
category's group

If you are lapped by your field, you finish on the same lap as the lead riders and
are not allowed to rejoin with riders lapping you.

There will be no free laps for bike malfunctions or crashes.

Please keep your head up at all times watching the riders in front of you.

You do have full use of Catering and Boag road.

After the first corner on Warden, you must stay on the right side of the road as
you are sharing this road with other traffic. This first corner is a fast corner;
please do not execute too quickly so as to remain on the right side of the road.
Failure to comply may result in enforcement of the Yellow Line Rule.
THE YELLOW LINE RULE
The “Yellow Line Rule” will be enforced on Warden Ave. at the discretion of the
Commissaires. There are a few instances where crossing the middle of the road may be
tolerated, for example:

“Mushrooming” of the front of the bunch because the lead riders have slowed
suddenly;

Swerving momentarily to avoid a road hazard or an ongoing crash;

Tracking slightly wide around a particularly tight corner with marshals present
(only when riding in a large bunch).

In any of these circumstances, the amount of time spent in the opposing lane is
quite small – usually less than a few seconds.

However, any other reason for crossing the median of the road is generally
unacceptable, as is any prolonged crossing, particularly if it is to launch an attack
or some other offensive move. Other unacceptable examples include:

The whole pack across the road going at a non-race speed (piano);

Individual riders crossing the median to gain an advantage;

Riders across the line on a curving descent;

Sheltering behind another rider if in doing so the median is crossed (such drafting
constitutes an unfair advantage);

Several riders across the line during a crosswind section for an extended period
of time.
MEDICAL & POLICE
Certified medically trained staff will be on site as well as members of the York Region
Police for traffic control.
PARKING
Parking is available on Boag Rd. west of Catering Rd. Please access from the west via
Woodbine Ave after 8:00am as there is no access from Warden Ave.
REFRESHMENTS
Coffee, water and snacks available inside and outside the Community Centre.
LUNCH
A BBQ lunch will be provided at no charge to all riders as well as Commissaires,
Domestiques, Police and EMTs. Riders should remove their number plates from their
bikes after they are finished racing and exchange the number plate for lunch. Lunch is
also available at a nominal charge to all others.
TOILETS
Outdoor facilities are provided. The North Union Community Centre also has indoor
handicapped accessible toilet facilities.
