Racers must perform their own bike repairs. Racers must carry their own spare parts and tools. Cannibalizing of other bikes is not permitted. Food and water can be taken from anyone, anywhere on the course. Racers taking food or water must not impede the progress of other racers.
Racers riding bicycles have the right of way over racers pushing bicycles.
When practical, racers pushing should yield the most rideable portion of the trail when being passed. It is the responsibility of the passing rider to overtake safely. Riders being lapped must yield at the first reasonable opportunity. When two riders are vying for position, the leading rider does not necessarily have to yield position to the challenging rider. Short-cutting the course by any racer shall result in a disqualification.
