The Rules:
1. Classic 2 wheelers under 250cc only - . If you have some weird VINTAGE scooter/moped/Bike thing you want to bring along, then ask., chances are if it's classic it's allowed.
We realize people add kits or new motors and so on. That's fine. Here it is easy for you. If the basic design is more than 30 years old it's classified as a classic for our purposes.
2. Entry will be by "turn up and ride". Make your self known to the time keeper, and register your details, and wait to be started. Please turn up before kick off!
3. No cheating on the route. Cheaters will be banned from the Giro and rightly
shunned.
We don't want to babysit cheaters.
4. no stopping to check your watch. yes this is a timed event, but there should be no waiting just before the last bend to make up 3 seconds, so as to even your times out.
5. The Giro is meant to be fun............... There, it's in the rules
6. Any disputes between riders about allocation of rider numbers, will be decided by "Rock, Paper, Scissors" between the two riders
7. The Giro must be kept challenging.
8. No bitching. No complaining. No whining. It is a test
of your ability to build a Classic/ vintage bike, keep it running, read a map, and hopefully win. Disputes will be decided by a simple majority vote during the riders' meeting. The accusing party must provide the complaint identifying the rule violated, the party accused, and the desired remedy (i.e. shout the bar). The complaint will be read aloud and then each party to the dispute will have 60 seconds to present his/her case. An up or down vote will be taken among all riders present, on the dispute and proposed remedy.
9. There are no GPS devices permitted on the route. This means your iPhone also. Pretend it is 1965 and the GPS hasn't been invented yet. The route should be pretty simple, if you get lost, we' d be questioning your mental state.
10. Protocol for helping others: Protocol is to wave gleefully and ride past, unless flagged down.
This is so we don't create a secondary problem with lots of riders on the side of the road, usually in the worst possible part of the road. Notify the timekeeper/Marshal when practical.
11. If you sign on to compete you do so absolutely at your own risk. The organisers will not be held responsible for your actions. This is not a race.
All competitors must be licensed to ride and have a road worthy machine. Scooters/bikes are to be registered and all road rules are to be obeyed. By taking part you agree to all of the event's rules. It is your duty (as the participant) to learn and understand the rules. For clarity, if you wish to challenge any of the rules please refer to rule 8!
Judges' decisions will be final.
Some rules were pinched of the Yanks running a similar style event.
