As part of building a supportive and welcoming community
of Cyclists and Crew, we need to be caring and respectful
of each other. Our actions can and will affect others.
The Code of Community Conduct are the general rules
and policies of this event, but are not a substitute
for common courtesy and thoughtfulness. You may be
expelled from the Challenge for violating any of the
following policies.

you cannot return and are no longer covered under the

12. Our Message. We are the guests of the communities
along the route. Our message of compassion and tolerance
will not be heard if our behavior is seen as offensive.
13. Golden Rule. Quiet after
09:30 in the evening so others can get their sleep
and be alert on the route.
Never litter and don’t camp in undesignated areas.
We want the communities and fairgrounds along our route
to be enthusiastic about our return next year!
You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never
know how soon it will be too late.
