The organizing committee of the Ishigaki World Cup would like all athletes to be aware of the following:

The police will be monitoring the use of bicycles leading up to the race.  All athletes need to follow local traffic rules which means staying on the left hand side and not riding in groups.

Athletes riding in the dark must have lights on their bikes. Please use common sense and be careful while training.
