BIKE SAFETY & COVID INFORMATION

TRAFFIC CONTROL / RIDER EXPECTATIONS

Riders are required to follow the rules of the road. All traffic lights, stop signs and right-of-ways are to be obeyed. Helmets are required to participate and riding with headphones or ear buds is not allowed. 

Riders are allowed to ride 2 abreast at any time. Riders are required to single file on SR 32.

“Safety Riders” (volunteer cyclists) will ride each route to ensure that cyclists are following the rules of the road and to help if there are any issues on course. Sag Wagons will also be patrolling the course to help anyone in need.

The course will close at 4:00pm. Cyclists must complete the course in the allotted time or they will be picked up by a Sag wagon. Cut off times throughout the course will also be in effect. Please see Route Information for specific information.

COVID INFORMATION

Masks are required indoors and outdoors when you are unable to social distance (6ft.). Masks will NOT be required when pedaling but will be required at the starting line. We will provide updates as they become available and will continue to share any changes to our Covid-19 procedures. We will be coming out with more specific Covid-19 guidelines for the Summit Challenge ride as it approaches.

We appreciate you following our guidelines to keep everyone safe, our health protocols apply to all participants and guests, regardless of Covid-19 vaccination or immunity status.

PARKING & LODGING

PARKING INFORMATION

There is plenty of parking surrounding the NAC for all riders and spectators. We do suggest carpooling as the closer lots fill up quickly. Walking paths connect lots that are further from the starting line. Limited parking will be permitted in the lots below the National Ability Center, at Quinn’s Junction, and in the dirt lot across from the soccer fields. Parking attendants will be present to facilitate parking the day of the event.

Parking at National Ability Center Ranch (1000 Ability Way Park City, UT 84060) is reserved for those that require ADA parking. Please contact Chelsea Rybak at chelsear@discovernac.org, if you need a SC-specific ADA parking pass.

Accessible parking will be available at the NAC top lot. A volunteer at the bottom of NAC driveway will allow people with ADA needs through to park.

Please see map below for all other parking locations. Please note that packet pickup will be at the Athletic fields, not at the NAC starting line.
