enforced at all times, this includes the finish.
Racers who are in the main groups may ride more than two abreast, but will remain to the right of the

far to the right-hand side of the road as possible.
All USACycling rules and Gran Fondo Rules apply. Racers must wear helmets at all times when riding.
