First Time Racers Clinic
presented by James Webb, TMBRA and Team YEAH!

When?     Check the Race Flyer and TMBRA Rider Forum for times as they vary from race to race
Where?   At the Team YEAH! tent
Who?      James Webb and YOU
Why?      You've found yourself at a TMBRA race and you're not quite sure what you've gotten yourself in for.

So, you think you want to try racing but you are not sure of what is involved. What are the rules? What is race etiquette? Why does everyone else look like they know what they’re doing and I don’t?

Do you have questions like these… and more?

Then bring your questions, a chair and an open mind. We should be able to make you feel comfortable about getting out and doing your first race.

Items we will go over:

• Registration, race age, race class, race license
• Race bib, what it is and how to put it on your bike
• Starting and finishing
• Eating and drinking before and during the race
• Different course markings and what they mean
• Passing and being passed
• Results–Preliminary, Final and what you should do if something is not right

You can find some good race tips on the TMBRA Rules & Regs page at http://www.tmbra.org/rules.htm
