🚦Know Before You Go: KICL Race Rules = Fair + Fun! 🚦 Hey shredders! 🚲 We’re all about having a blast on the bike AND showing respect—on the trail, in the pits, and with each other. 💪 Here’s how we keep things awesome and fair for EVERY rider: 🟡 YELLOW LEVEL Oops! First time = just a friendly *warning*. Keep it up though, and next time = ⏱ 5-minute penalty. 🟠 ORANGE LEVEL First time: 5-minute penalty. Second time: 10-minute penalty Third time: 😬 Disqualified from that race. Let's avoid that, yeah? 🔴 RED LEVEL Big infractions = Disqualified from that race (or the next one if it happens between races). This is serious stuff—let’s all aim to ride safe, smart, and kind. 🙌 We believe in second chances, learning from mistakes, and growing stronger—on and off the bike. You've got this, team! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ 🚵 For more information>> NICA Handbook [https://buff.ly/eFRe8Xp] #RideRight #TrailRespect #KICLStrong #ShredSmart #NICAValues @nkyroots @wchollowriders @marshallcomtb @clark_mtb @faycomtb @madhattersmtb @bluegrassberms @LivingstonCompositemtb @sting_mtb @cyclingshenanigans_shelbyco @hardin.etown.mtb @rmcmineshifters @Paradisemtb @meadecountycompositemtb @ScottCoShredders
