For 2024 we will be using a race plate check-in system. Registered coaches and riders will need to attach a race plate to their bikes at the beginning of practice and return it at the end. Names will be on the front and emergency info on the back. It will allow coaches to quickly see who is in their groups, ensure everyone returns and respond quickly to incidents.
