ROAD CLOSURE ‚ CO 5 ‚ ECHO LAKE TO THE SUMMIT

• The top portion of the course from Echo Lake to the summit of the mountain will be closed to traffic. Only those vehicles authorized to follow the race (the caravan) as designated by the Race Director will be allowed to follow the riders. There will be no exceptions.

• There will be limited seats available for riders to come down in the caravan vehicles. Riders should plan to put extra clothing in their bags that will be transported to the top so that they may ride down to Echo Lake to meet their rides.

• Vehicles meeting riders will be asked to wait in designated areas along CO 103.

• We will not allow any cars to park at Echo Lake. There will be a small area for loading riders so it is important to calculate the time your rider will take and only come to the loading area when that time comes. Vehicles will be asked to move if they are parked in this area too long.

• Vehicles will not be allowed to park at the Echo Lake Lodge or the fishing/picnic area at Echo Lake.

• Vehicles are asked to wait at the middle school or parking lots in Idaho Springs until it is time to pick up riders.

• The Middle School will be open beginning at 6:30 a.m. for bathrooms and people can wait for riders there.
• Vehicles not cooperating may receive civil penalties from law enforcement and riders associated with any vehicle penalized will be disqualified from the event.

• Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated.

EXTRA CLOTHING Please bring warm, old clothing to put into a bag labeled with your name and category. This will help you when you reach the top to avoid being cold or dressed inappropriately for the weather conditions that may exist.

RACE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING LOST, STOLEN OR MISPLACED.

REFUNDS/RACE CANCELLATION There are no refunds as a general rule. However, in the event that the race is canceled before race day the promoter will make a best effort to refund a portion of each entry fee (once non-refundable race expenses have been determined) by the race organizer. Any refund checks owed will be mailed within 60 days of race cancellations. No refund will be given for cancellations on race day due to weather or other considerations outside the control of the race promotion.
