			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In light of recent behavior at cyclocross events, make sure to keep it family friendly out there &#8211; if there is any question on what is family friendly, don&#8217;t find out the hard way.  Especially keep in mind, 1Q6 &#8211; and to answer all the haters out there on why?  Due to a small number taking it <span style="text-decoration: underline;">way</span> too far.</p>
<p><strong>1Q. </strong><strong>Conduct </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>1Q1. </strong>No rider shall benefit from his or her misconduct. Misconduct on the part of a team member or support person may result in penalties to any member of the team who places in the event [relegation or disqualification].</p>
<p><strong>1Q2. General Misconduct. </strong>The following offenses may be punished by suspension or lesser penalties: <strong>(a) </strong>Acts of theft, fraud, dishonesty, or grossly unsportsmanlike conduct in conjunction with a sporting event; <strong>(b) </strong>Offering, conspiring, or attempting to cause any race to result otherwise than on its merits.</p>
<p><strong>1Q3</strong>. <strong>Identity Fraud. </strong>No licensee may enter a race under an assumed name nor conspire to allow another rider to enter a race under an assumed name. This includes fraudulent use of another rider‟s license, racing numbers, or timing/scoring chip [default penalty - one year suspension].</p>
<p><strong>1Q4. Rules and Course. </strong>It is the rider&#8217;s responsibility to familiarize himself with the rules of the event and the race course before the start of the race. Riders may not take any other route or short cut [disqualification; 30 days suspension if apparently deliberate and the rider crosses the finish line].</p>
<p><strong>1Q5. Withdrawal. </strong>Riders must immediately follow a referee&#8217;s order to withdraw from the race [10 days suspension].</p>
<p><strong>1Q6. Abuse. (a) </strong>No rider or licensee may be disrespectful toward Race Directors, officials, riders or spectators [warning for minor offense; possible relegation of rider; and/or up to a $50 fine]. <strong>(b) </strong>No rider or licensee may use foul or abusive language or conduct during a race event [disqualification and 15 days suspension]. <strong>(c) </strong>No licensee may assault (an unlawful attempt, coupled with the present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another) or do battery (any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another) to anyone connected with any event (including but not limited to riders, spectators, public officials, etc&#8230;) held under a USA Cycling permit. [disqualified from the event, prohibited from participating in another event for 72 hours &amp; suspended for up to one (1) year after due process] <strong>(d) </strong><em>Violent assault and/or battery as described in 1Q6(c) committed by a licensee against a race official at a USA Cycling permitted event shall be subject to additional suspension up to and including lifetime suspension.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;<a title="Sylvania Cycling Classic" href="http://www.truesport.com/pdf/11/sylvania.pdf" target="_self">Sylvania Cycling Classic sponsored by Yark Subaru</a>&#8221; criterium cycling race will take place on Sunday, August 7th, 2011.  The all day festival of cycling will be centered in Sylvania Ohio.  The beautiful suburb of Toledo Ohio is one mile from the Michigan State line and within 50 miles of the Indiana State line.  This will allow easy access to all racers and riders in the Tri-State region.  The Mayor, his Council and the City&#8217;s Chamber of Commerce have approved of the event and are excited to be hosts for the day.</p>
<p>The course is a .7 mile technical loop which contains three left turns, a right turn, a chicane, and &#8220;Cappelini&#8217;s Climb&#8221;.  A short, but steep hill, that is similar to the old Midland Michigan State Championship criterium course&#8217;s hill for those that may remember.  The course loops around Burnham Park which contains Plumber public swimming pool.  The current schedule is to provide cycling races for all categories and skill levels in conjunction with social events that will take place at the park.  There will also be not categorized children&#8217;s races within the racing schedule.</p>
<p>An additional benefit for all registered racers is that each racer and their family members will also gain access to Plumber pool for the day as part of their entry fee.  This will allow families to watch the race (approximately 30% of the course by time is visible from the pool deck) while enjoying a day at the pool.  The race supporters realize that cycling needs to be a fun cycling day not only to spectator the races, but to also bring families time together.</p>
<p>Racing is currently scheduled to begin at 8:00 am and will run through the afternoon.  A more detailed schedule and information will be released shortly, but please mark your calendars for a fun day later this summer.</p>
<p>- Jon Card</p>
