IMCDA athlete guide

One question, the athlete guide says no bike shoes clipped into pedals? Is this correct / the norm for WTC/IMNA races?

If so, not a problem, bike shoes go in T1 bag.

But on return to T2, are you allowed to dismount and leave shoes attached to the pedals or do you have to clip clop back into T2 in your bike shoes (crazy!).

Thanks for the advice!

Typically bike shoes have to be in the bag for the mount and can be left on the bike for the dismount. I’d ask an official to be certain.

Correct…it was changed to this a number of years ago. bike shoes in T1 bag…can leave on bike in T2. Best wishes…it is a great race and a great place!

After mounting the bike in CDA it is pretty narrow. Dangerous to all who weave around and don’t steer straight–which are most of the people not racing pro. It’s a smart & safe rule.
