» CBTT IMPORTANT NOTICES

1. FLINT BRIDGE DETOUR; Flint bridge appears to be closed again for 2009. This interrupts your path getting to the start and returning from the finish. Please use the suggested route here to make your way to the staring area which avoids Concord center and brings you to line-up along the SIDE OF THE ROAD. No doubling up!

2. PIN-ON NUMBERS; We are issuing race numbers primarily to identify a racer from a non-racer. Several complaints against cyclists have been brought to our attention from the police. Follow the rules of the road! Do not ride two-abreast at any time (regardless of what you think the law is), we are here under permits and do not want to loose this event. Remember you are accountable and speak up to fellow riders to maintain a good image within the community.
