For the ADULT DU, you are NOT required to get your bike checked & approved although we HIGHLY recommend doing so.
For all the AWESOME kids doing the KIDS' ROCK DUATHLON, getting your bike and helmet checked/inspected and approved before race day in MANDATORY!
Please go to one of the two BIKE WORKS locations before race day to get your bike & helmet inspected, approved and then they will place a smiley face sticker on both.
QUICK HELPFUL HINT:
PLEASE fill the tires with air and try to get the bike in good working order before arriving for bike inspections!

When we receive this information, we will put aside two smiley face stickers which you will pick up when you pick up your packets and you will place them on your child's bike and helmet (please do not place them on your child...we already know that they are approved🤣)
Note: We will have a list of everyone that got their bikes & helmets approved at their local bike shop and we will only distribute stickers to them.

😊A couple more tidbits of useful information about the event😊
~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.
