Just for participating in the ride, you will receive the 2008 Tierra Bella patch with a design similar to the 2008 T-shirt. This year's pre-shrunk 100% cotton T-shirt will feature an all-new design. Order as many as you like at $15 apiece. You can also order the "official" Tierra Bella Jersey by Voler for just $60. This is an all-new design. There will be women's sizes available this year. The women's jerseys must be ordered by 1/16/08. After 1/16/08, only men's sizes will be available. Prices include all applicable sales taxes. Be sure to specify the sizes you want on your registration form.

Massage

Professional massage therapists will be offering muscle-rejuvenating massages at ride's end at Gavilan College. The therapists will charge their customary fee and will accept payment only in cash.

Notice To Unpaid Riders

The Tierra Bella is limited to 2000 riders because of constraints on parking, food, support logistics, and most important, safety. We will be actively screening for unpaid riders on the day of the ride. All riders must wear ID bracelets.

If you aren't registered for the Tierra Bella, we ask that you choose a different route for this weekend and trust that you will understand.

Rules Of The Road


For an enjoyable day while riding the Tierra Bella, please use common sense and courtesy while you are on the road. To help ensure your safety and the safety of others, we remind you:

Remember this is a tour, not a race or an endurance event. Please choose a route which matches your riding capabilities.

You must obey all rules governing vehicle traffic on public roads. California Vehicle Code rules will be enforced by local police and the CHP. You must:

Ride Single File On All Roads

Pass Only When It Is Safe

Stop At All Stop Signs

Control Your Speed On Descents

Ride Defensively

Share the road with cars




Other Things To Remember

It is the rider's responsibility to bring a bicycle in safe working condition. You should carry a water bottle, a spare inner tube and patch kit. It's also a good idea to bring a snack in case you are hungry before rest stops.

Always carry identification and an emergency telephone contact and phone number.

Minors under the age of 18 must ride with a responsible adult. All minors must carry the Medical Release Form signed by a parent or guardian (see application). Helmets are required by law for minors under the age of 18. ACTC club policy requires every rider, regardless of age, to wear an ANSI-approved helmet.

No alcoholic beverages are permitted.

Do not leave your bicycle unattended. ACTC is not responsible for lost or stolen property.

ACTC reserves the right to refuse participation to any rider not conforming to the rules listed.
