Competition Information

Road Race Information

Start at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad Station, 225 10th St., Boone.  This is an OPEN course, meaning racers must share the road with vehicles.  Registration will start at 6:30 am.  The course will cover approximately 26 miles per lap.  No follow vehicles, support vehicles or feeding outside feed zones will be allowed.  Riders violating this rule will be disqualified and possibly banned from future Iowa Games road races.  No neutral water will be supplied.  No aero bars will be permitted.  There will be a wheel/official's vehicle following behind the peloton - wheels-in/wheels-out.  Riders not completing the first lap of the 2-lap race within 90 minutes will be told to withdraw.  The center-line rule will be strictly enforced.  Officials will disqualify riders who violate any of these rules.  These rules are for the safety of the riders and other vehicles sharing the road.

Road Race Distance

Riders will complete 1-lap of approximately 26-miles or 2-laps for 52 miles.  The course includes several challenging climbs. 

Road Race Start Times

All 2-lap (52-mile) individual riders, tandems and teams will start at 8:00 am.  All 1-lap (26-mile) individual riders will start at 8:15 am.

Special Road Race Notes

The two divisions are 1-lap (26-mile) and 2-lap (52-mile) distances.  The 2-lap distance should only be attempted by accomplished riders/teams who have the stamina to complete this race distance within 3.5 hours.  Riders not completing the first lap of the 2-lap race within 90 minutes will be told to withdraw.  Please do not park vehicles in the north half of the Boone and Scenic Valley Railway parking lot as this space is reserved for its business.

General Cycling Road Race Information

Categories

Race categories can consist of individual, tandems and relay teams.  Tandem and relay teams may be 2 male, 2 female or 2 person coed.  A team's age will be determined by the average of the 2 riders' ages, and teams will compete within designated age categories in the Road Race.  Tandem and relay teams must complete Individual Entry Forms or register online and indicate who their partner will be.  Please see event codes below for categories offered.

Race Rules

The Iowa Games cycling events are not sanctioned by USA Cycling; however, the rules of the USA Cycling governing bodies (USCF and NORBA) will generally apply. See www.USACycling.org for detailed rules. The major rules to be aware of include: Helmets must be worn during all races. No aero bars will be permitted in the road race. Intentionally crossing the center-line of the road (solid or spatial) to gain tactical or other advantage will likely result in disqualification. Riders who are deemed to be riding in an unsafe manner (veering, not holding their line, etc) will be warned and possibly told to withdraw. Riders and teams who cannot complete the first lap within 90 minutes or two laps within 3.5 hours may be told to withdraw. There will be no junior gear limits. Any type of cycling clothing is acceptable. Feeding during the road race (bottle/feed hand-ups) will only be allowed in the designated feed zone. No feeding is allowed outside the designated feed zone, or from any type of moving vehicle (including motorcycles). No feeding for the 1-lap riders. No motorized assistance allowed during the road race to regain position with the peloton after a flat or mishap. Racers may be assisted/paced by other riders. No support vehicles during the road race except for the official race support vehicles. "Wheels-in/wheels-out", meaning you must put wheels in the support truck to receive a replacement wheel (team designated wheels are okay). The support trucks will typically stay behind the largest group of riders (peloton). Any protests related to finish position, rider conduct, disqualification, or other issues must be made by the rider at the race venue prior to the award ceremony. These rules are for the safety of the riders and other vehicles sharing the road.

Substitution

There will be NO substitutions of riders allowed after the deadline date!

General Information

Road Race race numbers will only be available the day of the race at the competition site.  Race numbers are NOT available in Ames.  Road Race participants will receive their t-shirts and athlete packets during check-in.    RIDERS NEED TO BRING THEIR OWN WATER AND NUTRITION.

Age Determining Date

Racing age shall be the rider's age on December 31, 2010.

Awards

Medals will be awarded to the top three place finishers in each age group within each event.

Entry Fee

The entry fee will enable the athlete to enter the road race.  (For an additional fee of $5 per event ($10 for both) athletes can compete in the mountain biking and/or time trial. Click here for mountain biking and time trial information.)  The athlete MUST pre-register for all events in order to compete for these fees, otherwise they must purchase entry at the on-site registration fee.  Please list all event codes on one entry form to speed the entry process.  On-site registrations will be accepted for mountain biking, road race and time trial for an entry fee of $30 per event.  An additional event fee will be $5 per event.  Pre-registration is preferred for all races.
