Important Safety Information
To assist cyclists along the course, Bike Ambassadors ride the routes to help in case of any issues. SAG Wagons are placed throughout the course and can be dispatched to a specific location in the event of an equipment malfunction. Police support is dispersed throughout the courses as well. Fort4Fitness remains in communication with these safety support entities.
To have a safe ride, Fort4Fitness recommends obeying the Share the Road rules from Parkview Trauma Centers:
- Always wear a properly-fitted bike helmet. (You must wear a helmet to participate.)
- Ride with traffic.
- Put the cell phone away; don’t text or talk while riding.
- Obey traffic laws, signs and signals.
- Use both hands on the handle bars – except to signal a turn or stop – and stay alert!
A pocket map is provided to all cyclists for a course map, turn-by-turn directions and general safety information. For First Aid or equipment-related issues, cyclists are advised to seek the nearest water/aid station, or if necessary, call to get a mobile unit dispatched to them.
In addition, Trek Fort Wayne and Fort Wayne Outiffiters provides a bike repair station at the start, finish and at each of the water/aid stations.
Have a safe ride!
