GILA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER We, here at in the Emergency Department (ED) at Gila Regional Medical Center, are proud to be serving Sil-ver City and the surrounding area, and are dedicated to excellence in patient care. We wish all participants in the 2019 Tour of the Gila, a safe and exciting time while you are in Grant County. In the event that you require the services of our Emergency Department and Providers, there are a few things that you should be aware of and have with you in order for us to provide you with the best care possible. Please have with you:

- proper identification - health insurance coverage information, if applicable - current medication list that includes the dose and how often you take it - a list of any adverse side effects or allergies to medications that you have experienced in the past - information about any physical health problems - names and contact information for your primary care provider and medical specialists

With such an amazing event in our community, please understand that we may be experiencing higher vol-umes of patients, and there may be a longer wait time. Triage is the process of prioritizing sick or injured people for treatment according to the seriousness of the condition or injury. When you see the triage nurse, a decision is made about the seriousness, or “acuity” of your problem, and patients are prioritized per this triage process. When the Emergency Department is very busy, the more serious problems are seen first. This creates a wait for some patients - we want you to understand why, at times, patients may have to wait longer than anticipat-ed to see a provider. PLEASE, if you are a patient here in the ED, DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING UNTIL CLEARED BY A PROVIDER. If you require surgery, eating and drinking anything will delay your care. Our mission is to provide our patients exceptional quality, patient-centered care in a healing environment. We want to make your visit the most pleasant experience possible.

POLICIES

Rider Conduct Riders should remember at all times that they are representa-tives of their sponsors, the USA Cycling (USAC), and the race’s sponsors and conduct themselves appropriately. Silver City is a rural area and local residents are not used to large numbers of cyclists. Traffic rules are to be obeyed at all times. All roads are open to traffic, except during the criterium. Ride as safely and courteously as possible and obstruct traffic as little as possible. Riders will wear approved safety helmets at all times when rid-ing, including warm-up, for the entire duration of the race. Riders are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet at all times when rid-ing in the Silver City area. Riders will be courteous to the many volunteers who are donating their time and effort to allow this race to happen.

Special Tour of the Gila Rules 1. This race is held under USA Cycling race permit 2019-1244 2. FIELD LIMIT is 125 riders for Men 1,2; Men 3; and Master Men A. Field Limit is 75 riders for Men 4,5; Master Men B and Women 3,4,5. Minimum field limit ranges from 70 to 10 riders. The Promoter reserves the right to combine categories and alter the prize list. 3. UCI bike regulations apply to UCI Men and UCI Women events only. 4. USAC rules apply. 5. LICENSE: Riders must present their 2019 USAC license. No exceptions. 6. SIGN-IN: Each rider must sign in on the sign-in sheet prior to each stage except the ITT. Sign in will close 10 minutes prior to start. Failure to sign in will result in a penalty as explained in USAC Rule Book. Arrive 10 minutes before the start for official announcements. 7. AWARDS: Jerseys will be awarded daily. Winners’ bowls and cash awards for all amateur races will be handed out on Sunday at Pinos Altos Opera House in the village of Pinos Altos. Awards not picked up will be mailed to the rider, using the rider’s address given on official entry form. 8. RACE NUMBERS: Only the race numbers provided by the race committee may be worn. Numbers may not be folded or trimmed. Worn as shown: For the time trials a single number may be worn, placed on the lower back of the jersey or the shorts. 9. HELMETS must be worn and securely fastened at all times while on the bicycle from registration through the awards cere-mony. 10. MUSETTE BAGS: Use of plastic bags as musette bags is prohibited. Only cloth will be permitted for food and water hand-ups.

11. URINATING: Please do not urinate from your bike within any spectators’ view. 12. TIMING: Except for citizen races, all races are timed stage race events. 13. MUST FINISH: Riders must complete each stage to be eligible to compete in the next stage and must complete all stag-es to be eligible for individual general classification (GC) prizes. 14. TIME CUT: Riders whose finishing time exceeds 120% of the winning time in any mass-start stage are subject to elimina-tion from the race. The Race Jury may modify this percentage or waive the cut altogether for a particular class and/or stage. 15. TRAFFIC CONTROL: Generally the lead rider(s) and main pack will be directed through intersections. Riders dropped by the main field should be alert, and ready to obey traffic rules. 16. CENTERLINE rule will be enforced. If no painted centerline marking exists, riders must keep to the right side of the road at all times, because the majority of the roads are open to vehicular traffic.

The last time that a rider may re-enter the race after a mishap is when approaching the front pit to begin 4 laps to go, or 4-1/2 laps to go on the back pit. After that point riders will not re-enter, and will be given the time of the group that they were with when they suffered the mishap. 18. RIDERS SUFFERING A MISHAP: In the time trial, once verified by an official, the rider will be given the time of the slow-est finisher in his or her category. 19. HILL CLIMB FINISHES: The Gila Monster stage is consid-ered to be a hill climb finish. As such, this finish is an exception to the 3km mishap rule. The Race Commission shall determine the applicability of this rule to particular circumstances. 20. LITTERING will be punished by a $500 fine. Riders may only discard water bottles and other materials in the feed zones, “green zones” marked by signs, and marshalled locations.

Protests and Penalties All riders are responsible for knowing and obeying USAC rules. Special attention should be paid to the timeliness of protests and appeals.

TOUR SUPPORT

All categories will have neutral wheel support. We rely com-pletely on wheels supplied by the riders. Volunteers will check in wheels prior to the start. Please remember—at least one rider every year is cut because not enough wheels were checked in.

Wheels will be handed out as needed, not “wheel in-wheel out.” You may keep wheels checked in for the duration of the race. They are kept locked up and pressure is checked each night. Wheels are available at each start location. The check stub will have the contact information for pick-up. Riders must return borrowed wheels immediately after the race to their support driver at the finish line.

If wheels are not returned, the rider will forfeit his/her start and any claim for prize money.

Please be polite. Keep in mind that the volunteers are not mechanics. You are responsible for changing your own wheels.

Time Trials Shimano will provide a neutral pit at the peak of the climb and at the turn-around. Specialty wheels should be taken to the pit before your start. There will also be a mechanic on hand near the start line.

Downtown Criterium Shimano will provide two neutral pits: one on the finish stretch 2 blocks before the finish line (Bullard at Market) and the other just before turn 2 (College at Cooper).

SUPPORT CREWS & FEED ZONES

Feed zones for the road race locations are clearly marked on the course descriptions. Beginning and end of feed zones will be marked by signs. All feeding will take place in these desig-nated zones; feeding outside the designated zones will subject riders and feeders to penalties (rule 3C5). Bottles, wrappers and other non-biodegradable materials should be passed or thrown to support crews.

Directions to feed zones are in course descriptions; please follow those directions. Support crews should position and

conduct themselves in feed zones and en route to feed zones and finishes so as not to endanger other race partici-pants or bystanders. Neutral water will be provided in all feed zones and the finish lines at each road race. Check course descriptions for locations.

Only authorized official race vehicles may follow the races. Support crews en route to a feed zone frequently come upon the race ahead of the one that they are supporting. They must not interfere with those races! They may pass official race vehicles only with permission of a referee.

Failure to follow these guidelines or other instructions may result in penalties against riders, support personnel or both.

Green Zones From 200m before each feed zone to the end of the feed zone are designated green zones for the discarding of bot-tles and other trash.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

We hope everyone has a safe race and stay in Silver City. However, should you require emergency medical attention during the race, paramedics will be available at various loca-tions along the courses. Law enforcement and/or official support vehicles following the race should be able to notify paramedics if needed. At other times, in the Silver City area call 911 for emergency help. Riders requiring medical transport will be taken to: Gila Regional Medical Center 1313 E. 32nd Street Silver City, New Mexico 88061 phone (575) 538-4000 In extreme cases, riders may be transported outside of Grant County. For information, please contact our Medical Direc-tor, Mike McMillan, 575-538-1259.
