FLCC> Cascadilla Hill Climb - Age Limits

[Ernie Bayles]

Holly,

May I request further clarification on the rules for this category? 

Specifically, what sort of equipment is allowed/required?  Does Sara 
need to ride a tandem, a triail a bike, or have a trailer attached, even 
though her passenger is "in utero"?  I also wonder about some of these 
clever new daddies who might be thinking that they can clean up in this 
category on this equipment  technicality.  Somehow the idea of a SRAM 
red equipped Scott CR1 with LEW wheels filled with hydrogen and a snugli 
doesn't seem sporting.  I'd also expect to see notarized birth 
certificates or passports for those too young for the usual lie detector 
screening.  Does the UCI cover this?

And then getting back to the pregnant women ruling.  How do we know that 
Sara isn't faking this whole thing?  There's a lot on the line here, and 
I think we really need to have all the answers to these questions as the 
integrity of the entire FLCC community is at stake.
