RULES

Identification While Riding

Bib numbers, bike plates, wristbands and helmet stickers must be visible throughout the ride. Your bib number should be worn on the back of your jersey to help ride officials identify participants and assist in emergencies. Failure to wear these items may result in losing access to rest stop support, SAG/mechanical assistance, and post-ride food/beer, as well as future registrations.

 

Rules of the Road
The BDBT is a bike ride, not a race. Please remember this as you prepare. All traffic laws must be followed at all times. Violators risk being cited and/or fined. Please respect the residents and municipalities who have graciously allowed us to ride through their communities. There are plenty of resources provided along the course.
