RaceResult timing transponders are required at this event. The timing chip is to be fixed to the fork of your bike using two zip ties (does not matter which side).
-Renting a chip - please have a credit card or valid photo ID handy when checking in. We hold the collateral until after the race to ensure the transponder is returned.
-If you own a chip, please bring the chip or chip number with you to check-in to make sure our records are correct.
-No transponder = no results!
-Please do not share or exchange transponders with other racers, this is a guaranteed way to mess up both of your results.
