Will mechanical and medical assistance be available?

Yes, as with a professional race, Centurion will have doctors, EMTs, ambulances and mechanics riding in the race caravan to provide medical and mechanical assistance.Mechanical assistance (excluding the price of parts) and first aid will also be available at each feed zone. In case of serious injury, ambulances will transport you to the nearest critical care facility. To avoid mechanical delays, you should always carry a spare tube, patch kit and bike pump.

How does traffic control work?

Riders will all start together and during the early portion of the event will be able to use both sides of the road in what is known as a rolling enclosure, which means the road is completely closed to motor vehicle traffic. Then, at a pre-designated point that will be published in advance of each event, all cyclists will be restricted to the right lane, obeying what is commonly known as the yellow line rule. Shoulder riding will also be encouraged when possible.

Throughout the course police will monitor all turns and intersections, but riders must remain aware at all times for potential oncoming traffic. All Centurion Cycling events will have motorbikes for on-course safety, readily available ambulance services, medical and technical support at each feed station, and sag vehicles. Each ride will have five feed stations for the 100-miler, two to three for the 50-mile ride, and one for the 25 miler.

I have the last 2 years been a Motorcycle Marshal at the Collingwood races. My insurance company has told me that they will not cover me if something happens and I have all of the past riders asking me if Centurion has adequate coverage for us a riders on our own motorcycles? We are all members of the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers...CMC are really enjoyed helping out the past 2 years but are now concerned if we something happened what would the Centurion insurance cover? Please get back I to me asap. We meet weakly in Barrie and past and new members are asking to help out but this is game breaker???
