Can I carry bottles and get food handed to me during a race?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can start with bottles and any food you want to carry, but glass containers are banned (a fine of $35 at local events). Feeding from the side of the road (hand-ups) is up to the Chief Referee. Unauthorized feeding can mean relegation, disqualification and/or a fine. In criteriums, feeding isn't allowed unless the Chief Referee specifically authorizes it. Riders can share food and drink with each other. Don't throw trash on the course. Wrappers and other non-biodegradable items may only be dropped in designated zones or handed to support staff.
