Security:
The competition does not have predetermined GPS routes and each rider decides according to their possibilities which way to go. For this reason, the organization may limit the spot in amplitude and indicate some major dangers but can not predict signs all over the spot. Each rider must be aware of the risks involved. Is advisable to study the spot before the race and eventually arriving in previous periods to test the field.
It absolutely necessary that participants bring with them their active and passive safety devices, telephone and radio to keep in touch with the organization. All participants will have to leave the starting gate and return at the appointed time in the gate and will be relatively autonomous, there will in fact be a window of 15 minutes to go, and after a time of 2 hours will have to go over the gate and stop their GPS.
Here's a general map of the potential spot:
