ANSI approved helmets are mandatory for the race. Bike and helmet inspection prior to the race is highly recommended and will be made available by our bike sponsor. It is important for your safety, and the safety of other competitors that your bike is roadworthy.

Bike Check (highly recommended):
Optional bike checks will be provided by our BIKE Sponsor: Ridley’s Cycle 223 - 10th St. NW Calgary, (403-283-1421) up until Saturday, August 15th.
PLEASE have your bikes (i.e. the one you will be riding on race day) inspected by the friendly mechanics at Ridley’s Cycle long before the morning of the event to avoid disappointment. You may want to have your helmets checked as well if you are unsure of their safety. Ridley’s Cycle will be available the morning of the event to provide a QUICK inspection of your bike ONLY.
If you are not able to have your bike checked by our bike sponsor Ridley’s Cycle, you can get your bike inspected by a local bike store or the morning of the race. If your bike is in poor condition, please DO NOT wait until the weekend of the race for your bike to be inspected!
