General information
Welcome!
The UA Cycling Team and Sabino Cycles Racing Team are excited to offer the Santa Catalina Weekend
for the 7th year!
Etiquette:
These races are held in very public areas and there will be spectators present. Please be polite and
respectful. You are representing our event, your team, and cycling in general. We want to leave a
LASTING POSITIVE impression on our very gracious host communities and be welcomed back.
No littering, no cursing, and ABSOLUTELY NO PUBLIC URINATION!
We nearly lost our event for 2014 because someone used a resident’s semi-truck as a pee spot- in view
of their dining room windows while they ate breakfast. There is no excuse for public urination.
Riders caught doing so will be fined, or disqualified, or both… more than likely both.
Centerline:
The centerline rule will be strictly enforced in the road race. If no painted centerline exists, riders
must keep to the right side of the road. If there is a double lane, riders must stay in the right lane.
During the road race all roads will be open to traffic. The road race involves several out and back
loops- fields will pass each other. Crossing the centerline endangers yourself AND the oncoming race.
The risk is not worth it. If you are dropped from the main group, ride to the far right and no more than
two abreast. This is the first warning, for everyone:
CROSS THE CENTER LINE AND YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED
Don’t be the rider that makes our race go way because you rode over the center.
Helmets:
Helmets must be worn and
secured at all times while riding
a bicycle.
Race Numbers:
Numbers will be pinned on the
right side for both days. Pin it
lower and on the side. Kudos to
rider 123 for doing it correctly.

Combined Categories:
During both events, several fields will be racing at the same time. We scheduled our events to avoid
fields over taking each other. However, if this occurs, please move over and allow the passing field to
move through. Do not mingle with the passing field or you will be disqualified.
Wheel Support:
There will be a wheel pit in the criterium by the finish line. Furthermore, there will be follow vehicles
for each group in the road race- wheels in, wheels out.

Prizes:
See respective race day page for each day’s payouts. Prize list may be increased if additional sponsors
are found.
No cash prizes for non-professional fields. We eliminated the cash prizes in most of the amateur
fields to cover the cost of the $10 1-day licenses for new riders. Our sport is already expensive enough
and we’re trying to keep the barriers to entry as low as possible for the new riders.
Merchandise includes: Sabino Cycling gift cards, Fair Wheel Bikes gift cards, boxes of R-Bars, Girl
Scout Cookies, Tires, Skratch Labs, Richey gear, UA swag,…
Race Proceeds:
Our events serve as a fundraiser for the UA Cycling team. All proceeds from the events go directly to
the UA Cycling Team, which enables the team to compete across the Southwest, attend Nationals
Championships, promote races, and get more college students riding bicycles. Your participation
directly impacts and improves cycling in the Southwest by allowing us to bring riders to your team’s
event!
What happened to the old Oracle course?
We transitioned to the out and back in 2017 because of the insurmountable costs associated with using
AZ-77. Because it is a state highway, we were required to use AZ DPS officers to control traffic - at
1.5x the rate of Pinal Co. Deputies. There were also additional traffic control signage required such as
two message boards placed 3 days prior to the event, and ADOT requires a $5 million dollar insurance
policy to use their roads. All of this added up to more than $4,500 to use just that road. In 2016 we lost
$3,400 on the road race- luckily the criterium covered the costs and we barely broke even. We felt we
had raised entry fees to the highest we could go and for 2017 we could not take the risk of losing
money. We are not professional event promoters- we are college students with full course loads, jobs,
and a love for cycling. We put on the event in hopes of providing a great race experience and to raise
money for our team. While we are always on the search for more sponsors for the event, at the present
time we do not have the ability to source out the $4,500 needed to use AZ-77.
No Omnium?
We found over the previous three years the omnium format did not increase participation in the
event…but did increase workload on volunteers in terms of finding prizes, calculating omnium points,
and delaying awards. So we’re going back to just two great days of racing- a road race and crit!

The course is bound by the Catalina Mountains to the north, the Black Mountains to the south, and the Galiuro
Mountains to the east. The course will select a true champion thanks to the rolling hills in the San Pedro Valley
and a moderate climb to the finish- there are few places to hide and wait.

race start times. Entry fees increase $5 on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 8:00pm. Race is rain, snow, or shine-
