PRE-RACE BRIEFING
REGISTRATION & PACKET PICK-UP
The annual Packet Pick-Up & Pasta Party will be held free of charge at Grace Community Church’s
Children’s Building (935 West Mescalero Road) on Friday, September 11, 2015 from 5:00-8:00 pm.
(A TdOM volunteer meeting will be held at 6:30 pm in the same location.) Late registration and
packet pick-up will also be available on Saturday morning, September 12, 2015 from 6:30-7:30 am
at Lea Lake (Start/Finish Line at Bottomless Lakes State Park).
START/FINISH
The Xcel Energy Tour de Ocho Millas will begin with a mass start from the Lea Lake Recreation
Area at 8:00 am (see maps above). Out of courtesy to faster riders, please allow all metric century
riders (8 loops, 62+ miles) to line up and start first. Riders attempting three or less loops (8-24
miles) please line up and depart last. Water, snacks, restrooms, and first-aid will all be available at
the Start/Finish line throughout the event. The course will begin to close precisely at noon for
cyclists to complete their final lap of the Xcel Energy Tour de Ocho Millas.
BIB NUMBERS
Official numbers must be worn on the backside of your jersey and must be visible at all times in
order to receive first-aid and rest stop support. An additional numbered sticker is also provided to
be placed on the front of each rider’s helmet (which is required for all riders). These numbers are
also used for identification with event photography.
TIMING TAGS
Professional Timing Tags are being provided for all riders by CCR Timing (ccrtiming.com). The
timing tag should be worn on the rider’s shoe and remain in a loop, not flattened out. This
electronic tag will enable each loop of the race to be professionally timed by CCR Timing. Timing
tags will be distributed at registration.
POWER STOP ON TOP
The “Power Stop on Top” is one mile past the Start/Finish Line at Lea Lake offering a reward for
the challenging uphill climb. Riders will be offered water by tour volunteers as they ride by.
POWER STOP AFTER THE DROP
This Power Stop is located at the Ranger’s Station on the lower road following the descent from
the high road. Water bottle refills (self-serve) and restrooms will all be available for those needing
to stop and take a break.
SAG CYCLES
SAG Motorcycles will be on the course throughout the tour. They will be carrying basic tools for
repairs, spare tubes, first-aid kits, and emergency water. If a medical emergency exists, please call
911 first then signal a SAG Cyclist. All SAG Motorcycles will be connected by radios to the onsite
ambulance, parked at the finish line.

SAFETY TIPS – PLEASE TAKE NOTICE
• Stay Right. Pass only on the left. The only exception is the Tour Finish (see below).
• NEVER cross the center yellow line.
• Verbally indicate that you are passing. “Passing.”
• Use hand and verbal signals when exiting or slowing down. “Slowing,” “Stopping.”
• Verbally indicate any road hazards or “Trash.”
• Approved helmets are required for ALL riders. No exceptions!
• Although traffic is minimal during the event and required to travel one-way clockwise, please
assist motorists in passing as soon as possible.
TOUR FINISH
Since cyclist will be riding various distances (8 mile loops), it is imperative that all cyclists end their
tour by moving quickly off the course to the LEFT after the finish line. Make sure to cross the
timing mat before exiting to the left. This will be the only place where cyclists will be allowed to
pass on the right (in order to avoid cyclists leaving the course). Again, please use vocal signals.
“Exiting,” “Passing on the Right.” Check-in at the timekeeper’s table before heading to the Post-
Event Party. If you finish early, please feel free to join the crowd at the finish line to congratulate
your fellow riders on a job well done! An Awards Ceremony will begin promptly at 12:30 pm at the
Finish Line.
