Guidelines for bicycle racing on state highways.
The Bicycle Racing Guidelines were developed as a cooperative effort between WSDOT, the Washington Bicycling Advisory Committee, and the Washington State Patrol to provide guidance for the safe and efficient operation of competitive cycling events on Washington state highways.
Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
