Let's ensure a smooth and successful racing event

GeneralRules for Cyclists

The Rules and Regulations pertaining to The Route 66 MTB Experience may change slightly in the weeks leading up to the race. The final version will be communicated at the race briefing at the start of each stage.

Mountain Bike racing is by nature self-reliant and often held in remote areas. All competitors must participate with an understanding and acceptance of this ethos.
