What You Need to Know

RIDER RESPONSIBILITIES

Your Subtitle Goes Here
3
  • You must obey all USAC rules and Colorado State Laws. That includes riding to the right of the road and never crossing the centerline.
  • You must know the course. On our website you will find a course map and GPS files that you can use to navigate the course.
  • You must not warm up on the course once the race has started. If a marshal or USAC official sees you, you will be disqualified.
  • You must be aware of other park users, this is an open course. Be courteous, we are guests of CCSP and must respect all other park users.
  • You are responsible for your own safety. Our marshals and traffic control personnel will do their best to warn you of any vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle traffic but you are responsible to look both ways when crossing an intersection or coming up to a crosswalk.
  • You must read and understand the KHMTT flyer. The race flyer is now part of our website (this page) and it contains all the details about the series. Most questions we receive are covered one this page, read it and know it before you register.
  • You must arrive at the park on time and be at the start line on time. If you arrive at the park late due to circumstances not under your control, see us at the table behind the Smoky Hill parking lot and we will do our best to reschedule your start time, but there are no guarantees.
  • You must pin your bib correctly. Our spotter and timing crew do not have x-ray vision. If they cannot easily see your bib number, they may not be able to give you your time. You may want to consider yelling out your bib number as you go by the spotter, located just after the last turn towards the finish. We have detailed instructions on how and where to pin your bib here.

RACING TWICE EACH NIGHT

Your Subtitle Goes Here
3

The KHMTT allows you to race twice each night for a very low additional cost.

When registering to race twice, you need to consider the time you believe you will be able to complete the course during your first race of the night, time to recover, and time to make your way to the start line before you select your second race start time. The normal time is about an hour.

Because you need to determine in which order you want to race in each of your categories, and set your start times to be able to finish one race and start the next, you will not be assigned start times when you register but will be sent an email that will allow you to pick the order and start time for each of your races.

USAC rules state that each race must be in a different category, however if you are a CAT P-1-2-3 racer and do not want to race in a RETRO category you may race twice in the same category.

However for series points and reporting of race results to USAC your second race results will not be considered.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN ROAD CUP

The KHMTT series is now part of the Rocky Mountain Road Cup competition.

These races bring the joy, challenge and excitement of road events to riders of all ages and abilities.

The Chief Referee will make the final decision on e-bike qualifications.
