Dogs/BIKES: We absolutely, positively cannot have dogs at our meet this fall. It is nothing personal, but due to liability
issues, we cannot have dogs at the course. Everyone always has a nice dog that does not bite, until someone gets bit.
You cannot 100% guarantee the behavior of your dog, at all times. In addition, it is inappropriate to ride your
BIKE along the course when races are going on. Please leave your bike at home. Coaches please inform your parents of
these rules.
