RIDE DAY INFORMATION

Safety of all riders is the highest concern for the organizers of the Oshkosh Century ride. We want all riders to enjoy the experience at each of their own riding abilities and comfort levels. Please be respectful to each other on the roads and make this ride positive and enjoyable for all. To this end, participants are asked to obey the following rules:

• FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD - The course routes for the Oshkosh Century are on public roads which remain open to motorists during the event. All riders are expected to follow the rules of the road. This includes recognizing that motorists have the right of way. Riders must stay on the right shoulder of the road and ride at a maximum of two abreast, especially when motorists are present. Crossing the center line of the road is strictly prohibited and you could be cited by law enforcement.
• HELMETS REQUIRED - All participants must wear a bike helmet at all times while on the course route.
• WATCH YOUR SPEED - Riders are free to ride at whatever pace they desire but are urged to exercise caution during the downhill descents. Ride within your abilities and slow down on the descents. 
• TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND INTERSECTIONS - Because course routes use streets which are open to typical traffic, all traffic rules apply. This includes stopping at intersections with signs or signal lights and obeying police orders when applicable.
