The discovery of Pikes Peak dates back to the early 1700’s but wasn’t called Pikes Peak until an expedition lead by explorer Zebulon Pike, whom the mountain was later named for. Unfortunately for Pike, he was unable to reach the summit. Since this failed attempt, explorers and travelers alike have made the same journey. Popular routes up Pikes Peak include hiking up Barr Trail or Crags Trail, driving via Pikes Peak Highway, or taking a ride up The Broadmoor’s Pikes Peak Cog Railway. About Pike National Forest The Pike National Forest comprises nearly 1,000,000 acres of public land, including Pikes Peak. Outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, picnicking, fishing, boating and off-highway travel are available. There are over 225 miles of trails (1/3 of which are motorized), approximately 250 developed campsites and many fishing areas. Located throughout the Pikes Peak Ranger District. Please plan to spend and enjoy some time in the area while you are here.

Under no circumstances will racers be allowed to register on the day of the event, as the start lists will have already been finalized and printed. There will be no registration on Saturday. You may NOT pick up someone else’s packet for them. All racers must pick up their own packet in person to verify USAC & BRAC membership, sign waivers, etc. Altitude and Hydration: It is advised that if you are not accustomed to high altitude rides that you plan to spend several days prior to the ride, practicing at altitudes of at least 6,000’ or higher. It is also advised that you hyper-hydrate prior to traveling to Colorado Springs to help oxygenate your muscles. At least one gallon of water per day is a good start. Water can be extremely beneficial in combating fatigue and oxygen deprivation due to the altitude and physical exertion. Participants coming from a lower elevations should be particular aware of their diet and hydration leading up to the event. The start line is at 9,380’ and the finish is at 14,115’ elevation. There will be nutrition and hydration stations along the route: Glen Cove (5.5 miles, 11,440’ elevation) and Devil’s Playground (9.2 miles, 12,780’ elevation). There are also snacks and hydration available at the Summit and Festival Area. All participants are encouraged to carry plenty of water with them as well as snacks. Race Numbers: All participants in the competitive race as well as the gran fondo will be wearing numbered race bibs on the right side of their jerseys. Race numbers correlate with gender and the event in which you are entered. Race numbers must be visible at all times during the event. Highway Access: Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain is accessed via Pikes Peak Highway. The highway begins in Cascade, Colorado and continues to the summit. This is a toll highway. Your registration for this race includes your access pass to the highway. BE SURE TO REMEMBER YOUR PASS THE MORNING OF THE RACE OR YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A NEW PASS. EVERYONE must have a pass to access the highway – NO EXCPTIONS. This includes support team and family members. Family members and support team staff can purchase additional access passes at packet pickup or the morning of the event. There is a Gateway at the base of the mountain which all vehicles use to access the mountain. Passes will be collected from everyone as they pass through the Gateway. The highway will open to participants at 4:45 am.

Access Pass Fees

• Age 6-15 = $5 per person • Age 16+ = $10 per person

Participants and teams who arrive prior to the Gateway opening at 4:45 am will be staged in the parking area prior to the Gateway. Only volunteers, workers, sponsors and vendors will be directed to the Gateway area prior to the highway being opened for competitors. Once you have cleared the Gateway you will drive 7 miles to the race parking area and the Festival Area. Volunteers will direct you into the parking area. Participants are asked to follow signage and the directions of the parking attendants to help conserve space for everyone. Only Highway Rangers, Race Operations, and Race Officials will have access to the highway, uphill from the race parking area – NO EXCEPTIONS. No team or support vehicles will be allowed access to the race course prior to 9:00 am when the highway will open to the general public. Note: The Gateway opens at 7:30 am daily for the general public, however, on race day the highway will be closed to vehicles at Crystal Reservoir, approximately 1 mile downhill from the Start Line for the race. The highway will remain closed at Crystal Reservoir until 9:00 am. There are Sportsman Passes which will allow access for fisherman into the North Slope Recreational Area through the race parking area. Clothing: Weather conditions on the mountain can vary during the race from sunny and warm to arctic blizzard and everything in between. Participants should be prepared for all types of weather. The mountain creates its own weather conditions which can be significantly different from the surrounding area. Participants should prepare a gear bag and leave it in the corresponding transport vehicle so that it will be delivered to their finish point. There is a weather website specifically for Pikes Peak which provides forecasts, current conditions and live camera views. It can be accessed at parks.coloradosprings.gov/pikespeak. Gear bags should contain warm dry clothing, wind gear and gloves. Participants will generate considerable heat when working to get up the mountain. This heat will produce moisture which will be trapped in your clothing. Once you reach the summit you should take time to cool down, or if you are very cold, remove your wet clothing immediately and put on dry warm clothes from your gear bag. During the descent you will not be generating the same level of heat because you will not be working as hard. The wind and lack of heat can create very cold conditions. Wind gear can be beneficial on the descent as well as a good pair of gloves. Gear Bags: There will be gear transport vehicles parked on the shoulder of the highway between the parking area and the Festival Area. Please confirm that you have a bag tag on your gear bag prior to placing it in the vehicle. There will be race volunteers with the transport vehicles to assist you.

Timing tags will not be used for the E-bike exhibition. Results will be transmitted from the Summit to the Festival Area where they will be posted. Our system will allow results to be posted prior to riders arriving at the Festival Area. Please check the posted results when you return and report any timing issues to race officials prior to the awards ceremony. Awards: The awards ceremonies will be held in the Festival Area. There will be an awards podium set up with Pikes Peak as the backdrop. Awards will begin with the Gran Fondo (excluding E-bikes) participants at approximately 9:30 am with awards for the competitive race immediately following. All attempts will be made to limit the wait for awards following the conclusion of each age division. Racers that think they have placed in their divisions should limit their time at the summit and return to the Awards Area as soon as possible after their race. Awards will be given when all placers have arrived at the Awards Area. Awards will be given for the Overall Best Time in the Men’s, Women’s and Junior’s divisions. Festival & Awards Area: The Festival & Awards Area is located to the south of the participant parking area, approximately 200 yards downhill from the Start Line. A listing of the start groups will be posted in this area prior to the start, and finish times will be posted in the same location as soon as possible following the conclusion of the races. The area will be well marked and lighted and there will be a hospitality tent for snacks and drinks. Massage services may be available for racers in the Festival Area following the race. Portolets will be located on the shoulder of the highway on either side of the ramp to the Festival & Awards Area. Trash totes will be scattered within the area and near the portolets.

Communications: There will be a large number of cyclists on the Highway during the event including professional and novice cyclists. Even with the separation of the different waves, many ability levels will be using the highway at the same time. Be sure to use caution and notify other cyclists when and where you are passing. Be aware of your limitations and avoid impeding the progress of cyclists which may be overtaking you on the course. Most race operations vehicles and Pikes Peak Highway vehicles will be in radio communication with the Race Director and other support vehicles. Should you need assistance along the route, please wave down one of these vehicles and they will try to assist you. If you request a transport uphill to the next rest area, this assistance must be reported to the Race Officials and you will not receive a race time for the event. If you are in need of assistance along the route, and between two rest areas, you should ask a fellow racer to notify the radio operator at the next check point of your location and your request for assistance. The radio operator can relay your request to a support vehicle. There are stationary radio operators at Ski Area, Glen Cove, Double Cut, Devil’s Playground, and the Summit. They have constant contact with race command courtesy of the Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES). These volunteers support the race with a mission of safety for the participants. They are here to support your needs and race operations. Please note that cell phone reception on Pikes Peak is spotty at best. You may not have cell phone service while you are on the mountain. Start Area: The officials will coordinate the Start Line. There will be an announcer’s booth and stage set up at the Start Line. Racers are asked to stage at least 10 minutes prior to their start time. There will be cones and signage to indicate where the staging areas are located prior to the Start Line. You will ONLY stage with your start group and when announced. There will be volunteers there to direct you to the appropriate staging area. Only racers from the starting group should be in the Start Line area. The next group to start will be staged behind a set of cones lining the highway. A second set of cones will be set up for the next starting group. A final set of cones will be set up for the following start group. Volunteers will instruct you on when you need to advance.

Announcements will also be made in the Festival Area to call start groups to staging. Please pay attention to the time and the announcements to ensure that you start with the correct group. You may be asked to stop at the Start Line on your return ride from the summit. This will allow race officials to confirm your return. Ski Area Support Services: There will be a portolet at Ski Area for your convenience. Glen Cove Rest Area: Glen is 5.5 miles from the Start Line. This area will be set up with snacks and drinks. There will also be a radio operator in this location, and it is a staging area for one of the ambulances. Portolet facilities will also be available. Racers that are impeding the progress of the public caravan may be asked to abort their attempt to summit. Glen Cove is the staging area for all cyclists and cycles should there be inclement weather during the event. All cyclists and cycles will be initially transported to Glen Cove if inclement weather impacts the higher elevations of the race. If you get separated from your cycle, it will be staged at Glen Cove. Eventually you will either be transported down to the Festival Area, or you can choose to ride down on your own. Note: Glen Cove is considered approximately “halfway” to the Summit. At this point the grade increases significantly and the air is thinner. Use your judgement and do a self-evaluation to determine your readiness to continue your ascent. Devil’s Playground Rest Area: The rest area will be located on right, along the wide shoulder of the road, just past the entrance to the parking area. This area will be set up with snacks and drinks. There will also be a radio operator in this location. Portolet facilities will also be available. There will be a safety van parked at Devil’s Playground. This van is used for shelter should inclement weather occur during the event. This van will remain stationary and participants will be shuttled to Glen Cove by another safety van as space allows.

Summit Finish Line:

The Finish Line is located at 14,115’ above sea level at the summit of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain. There will be a funnel finish, although rarely do groups of more than 3-4 racers cross at the same time. A chip timing system and the officials will be located at the Finish Line. Please avoid standing or walking around the finish line area as your chip can interfere with the timing equipment. Once you have crossed the Finish Line you may proceed to the “Summit House” for hospitality services. All cyclists that reach the summit will receive a “Summiteers” medal (excluding E-bike exhibition) when you stop by the Summit House. Your gear bag will be located outside of the Summit House near the front doors, along with snacks, drinks and restroom facilities will be located in the east wing. There is limited space to change out of your sweat filled clothes and into something dry. There will be a private bike shuttle service available from the summit, for an additional cost ($10 cash per person). You can connect with the service provider at their vehicle. The summit is also a staging area for one of the ambulances. Please don’t hesitate to contact them if you have any medical concerns. A radio operator is also staged near the finish line should you need them. In the event of inclement weather, racers that have reached the summit will be asked to remain indoors and wait for a shuttle to Glen Cove. The first priority is to cyclists that are stranded on the course. Their needs will be addressed first and then the cyclists on the summit will be addressed. Shuttles will transport cycles and their bikes to Glen Cove initially. Descent: It is EXTREMELY important that you are careful during the descent. There will be vehicles on the course throughout the race. After 9:00 am you will also encounter public vehicles on the course. Be very cautious and follow the simple instructions below.

• Follow the Yellow Line Rule at ALL times. Remain in the proper lane for the descent. • Maintain your speed at or below the speed limit at ALL times. Rangers will ticket for speeding.

13 8/3/2020

• Watch for wildlife. • Control your breaking. Overheated rims may cause air in the tire to expand, causing a rupture.

You may want to release some air from your tires prior to your descent. • Wear dry clothing and wind gear if possible. You will not be generating heat on the descent so

proper clothing is strongly recommended. • Take breaks. Give your rims time to cool and give yourself time to warm up, if necessary.

Technical Support: There will be limited services provided during the event. There will not be a neutral support vehicle on the course. Medical Support: There will be at least one medical support vehicle on the mountain roving throughout the event. The vehicle is staffed with medical staff from the Colorado Center of Orthopaedic Excellence. There will also be an ambulance staged at Glen Cove and the Summit. If you have a medical emergency get word to the closest Rest Area which will have radio communications with all emergency personnel. If possible, flag down a race operations vehicle which will also have a radio. If experiencing a medical issue, please try to identify your location on the course. There are highway marker signs throughout the route so please be aware of the most recent sign you saw to help emergency vehicles quickly respond to your needs. Sanitation: Portolets and trash totes will be distributed along the entire course.

Festival Area – 8 portolets; 6 trash toters Ski Area – 1 portolet Glen Cove – 1 portolet; 1 trash toter Devil’s Playground – 1 portolet (staked); 1 trash toter Summit – access to existing restroom facilities

No Littering: Please respect the mountain and the natural beauty of the area. Do not discard water bottles, snack wrappers, fruit peels, gels, food wrappers, etc., while on the course, at the finish, in the Festival Area or the Parking Area. There will be trash totes along the route and in high traffic areas to deposit trash. Please leave the mountain as pristine as when you arrived.
