The Golden Rules

1 The winner of the first Golden Race will be the first winner of the Golden Bike. Kind of obvious, but we had to say it.

2 After that, the only way to get the GT Golden Bike is to beat the current
Golden Bike holder.

3 Winning the GT Golden Bike obligates you to defend your possession of it at the next Golden Race or forfeit it like a pansy.

4 Nobody owns the Golden Bike. He or she is merely
its steward.

5 Pro riders cannot compete for the GT Golden Bike. Riders must be 18 years of age or older on race day.
How do I know if I’m a pro rider?

6 Sale of the Golden Bike is strictly forbidden.

7 Second place gets nothing and likes it.

8 GT will reassign possession of the Golden Bike if any of the rules are broken.

9 If you or an immediate family member are employed by a bicycle or bicycle frame manufacturer or distributor, then you are not eligible to win the GT Golden Bike. (Bike shop employees are eligible!)
