NO KID will be allowed into the transition area without the approved smiley face sticker you receive at Keswick Cycle when you get your bikes checked.
 
A couple of important added notes about the race:

~Your timing chip will be on your ANKLE (using a Velcro strap). But, it’s important that you return the ankle strap & chip after you cross the finish line. There will be a volunteer at the finish line assisting you with your strap.

~If you are competing as a TEAM…(either 2 or 3 teammates), you will transfer the timing chip strap to the next team member for their portion of the race. You will not transfer your race bib, that stays on you the whole time!

~Helmets ARE required.
