Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why do I have to wear the listed protective gear if this is an AMA event when the AMA does not state what protective gear is required for AMA events?

A. Per the AMA we do have the right to require protective gear for our events and can specify what gear is required.

Q. Is this event open to novice riders and or roadbook users?

A. Yes but we highly recommend attending training or getting time in on your navigation system prior to registering for our event, if you are a novice rider and or novice roadbook user. *As we stated this event is for intermediate and advanced riders.  We don't want you getting in over your head and not enjoying yourself.

Q. Can I use Mousses / Bibs for your event?

A. Mousses / Bibs are not street legal because they are not DOT compliant and cannot be used for our event as per our website.

Q. Can digital roadbooks be used for your event? 

A. Not at this time, we are going to keep with the tradition of using paper roadbooks. But due to advancements in technology  we will continuously look at their possible use in the future. 

Q. Can I use an Apple IPhone or Ipad with Rally-Blitz loaded on it for an odometer?

A. Not at this time, we are going to keep with the tradition of using a Tripmaster.  We will allow an ICO MAX G or similar product. The RallyComp has these features built into it also.

Q. Why can’t we drink alcohol during event.?

A. In keeping with land manager policies and AMA insurance requirements participants can not actively drink while riding or while in bivouac.  While at Montrose County Fairgrounds there is no alcohol consumption on the fairgrounds per their policies. But the city of Montrose and while at Bivouac day 3, local establishments near sites will be happy to quench your thirst.  We are confident the trails and vista’s you will experience will lessen this burden placed upon your system 😊.
