Rules of the Road
The Colorado Park 2 Park Challenge is held on open roads and is a Rules of the Road ride. You are responsible to follow the rules of the road. The only time you do not need to stop at a stop sign or red light is if a police officer or Colorado State Patrol wave you through. If the Colorado Park 2 Park receives reports of risky behavior we will seek out the cyclist and remove them from the remainder of the ride.
