In this case it was discussed immediately prior to the 4/5 race. While
we were lining up and receiving instructions from the race officials,
the question was asked about the road without a centerline. The race
official stated that there was a stretch of road without a centerline
painted on it, but we were still expected to ride in the right lane and
not cross the center of the road. The road was open for two way traffic
and we needed to stay right. This was the instruction from the race
official at the start of the race - no interpretation necessary. So
riders might have had other opinions about how the race rules should
have been laid out for that part of the course, but the rules were clear
at the start of this race.

But where was the centerline on a narrow one-lane road with no line.
What specific reference prevents a rider from riding up next to you in
the middle. I believe that this road was a special case that we see
infrequently.

Here is one perspective and some details for those that weren't
in the race:



+ All of the riders were explained the rules at the start of the
race. Everyone was told that the road didn't have a yellow line and
that they were still expected stay off the left lane or they were
breaking the rules.

+ In the CAT 4/5 race, on the lap in question, a break occurred
before the turn onto the narrow road without a centerline. It was a
small break with 2-3 riders and as it happened, the team mates of one of
the riders in the break were at the front of the main peleton going into
the turn. As is expected, the team mates on the front of the peleton
did not try to catch up to the break. They eased off and let the break
go. That's called bike racing.

+ Around 10-15 riders didn't like this tactic and decided to
ride over the centerline, pass the peleton and catch up with the break.
There was no question that riders were making a conscious decision to
cheat. Several riders got bunched up in the left lane and ended up
taking over the whole road at one point. Other riders in the peleton
were calling out numbers of the offending riders and I'm sure some
riders decided that if the rules weren't going to be enforced, they were
going to take advantage of the situation as well.

+ In the end, after about 15 riders broke the rules and caught
up with the break. The rest of the peleton decided catch up rather than
let the offending riders profit from the situation. In subsequent laps,
the peleton was mostly strung out on that stretch of road so there
weren't more issues.



What occurred was dangerous and very unsporting. I don't think
the race promoters can be held responsible - they do everything they can
to put the event on. The least the riders can do is play by the rules
and ride a fair and safe race. Follow the rules or don't race...go for
a ride with your friends and let the rest of us have a fair, safe
contest.

Come on folks... ride the bike. The piece of road in question
has been a part of many, if not most piece of cake races since the first
one I rode... I think in 1980 or '81, can't be sure. Having not been
there this weekend, I don't know what y'all were doing out there, but in
the past, the lead car usually went far enough ahead to shut down
on-coming traffic. By the way, it's the same thing on a forest service
road, or any other non-center line road for that matter. So do you go
neutral in that kind of situation? I guess you could, but the reasonable
(and tactically correct) way to ride that kind of racing situation is to
make sure you're at or off the front when you enter that road. If you
were caught back in the pack when you left the good road , you're going
to have a long day, 'cause the leaders can and should be putting some
distance on you.



As they say. That's road racing.

The way to handle no center line is to go neutral and everyone holds
his\her position. This would be the fair thing to do. The first and
second corner on that stretch of rode are blind and all it would take is
for a disgruntled driver, who can drive on that side of the rode at the
speed posted or there about, to cut the corner and many riders are
injured seriously or fatally. I do not think we need this type of
incident for OBRA. Just my opinion.

The POC presented some unique center line challenges on Dannon
Rd.. I

understood that the centerline rule still applied even on the
narrow

Dannon Rd.. That would have been very difficult since there was
no

clear center line. There was a lot of confusion about the issue
within

the pack (4/5). After a couple laps it was obvious to me that if
I

respected the rule, then I was going to loose position in the
pack to

those that were ignoring the rule. As most racers know, the
safest

place was in the front quarter of the pack. None of the riders
that

were attacking the left side of the road wanted to actually
share the

pace workload.



I broke the rule on the third lap to get up the front third. It
didn't

do me any any good because there were 3 times as many offenders
that

passed me.



There was a lot of verbal bantering. One rider was quite verbal
about

pointing out the offending riders by number. It was annoying but


appropriate to use peer pressure. It was potentially a very
dangerous

situation if there had been a car up. There was also some
frustration

with a team sending riders up in a break away and then blocking
at the

front (another topic).



It would have been a very difficult job for an official to
monitor and

enforce. There wasn't even a safe place for an official's car to
come

along the side and warn offending riders. I wonder if it would
be safe

to have the official car travel on the left side of the pack for
those

narrow roads.



The same situation exist for those races that use Forrest
Service roads.

However, those roads tend to be in the hills which thin the pack
out.



I don't think there any easy answers for this. I expect the
official

response to be, "the rule was in effect and officials should
have

enforced it." The application in reality may not be so easy.



In the end, it all sorted itself out for a good finish and no
injuries

from a center line violation.

have been a very difficult job for an official to monitor and </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>enforce.
There wasn't even a safe place for an official's car to come </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>along the
side and warn offending riders. I wonder if it would be safe </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>to have
the official car travel on the left side of the pack for those </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>narrow
roads. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The same
situation exist for those races that use Forrest Service roads. </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>However,
those roads tend to be in the hills which thin the pack out. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I don't
think there any easy answers for this. I expect the official </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>response
to be, "the rule was in effect and officials should have </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>enforced
it." The application in reality may not be so easy. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>In the
end, it all sorted itself out for a good finish and no injuries </span></font></p>
