GILA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
We, here at in the Emergency Department (ED) at Gila Regional Medical Center, are proud to be serving Silver City and the surrounding area, and are dedicated to excellence in patient care. We wish all participants
in the 2015 Tour of the Gila, a safe and exciting time while you are in Grant County.
In the event that you require the services of our Emergency Department and Providers, there are a few things
that you should be aware of and have with you in order for us to provide you with the best care possible.
Please have with you:
- proper identification
- health insurance coverage information, if applicable
- current medication list that includes the dose and how often you take it
- a list of any adverse side effects or allergies to medications that you have experienced in the past
- information about any physical health problems
- names and contact information for your primary care provider and medical specialists
With such an amazing event in our community, please understand that we may be experiencing higher volumes of patients, and there may be a longer wait time.
Triage is the process of prioritizing sick or injured people for treatment according to the seriousness of the
condition or injury. When you see the triage nurse, a decision is made about the seriousness, or “acuity” of
your problem, and patients are prioritized per this triage process.
When the Emergency Department is very busy, the more serious problems are seen first. This creates a wait
for some patients - we want you to understand why, at times, patients may have to wait longer than anticipated to see a provider.
PLEASE, if you are a patient here in the ED, DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING UNTIL CLEARED BY A
PROVIDER. If you require surgery, eating and drinking anything will delay your care.
Our mission is to provide our patients exceptional quality, patient-centered care in a healing environment. We
want to make your visit the most pleasant experience possible.

appeals.
Riders should remember at all times that they are representatives of their sponsors, the USA Cycling (USAC), and the race’s
sponsors and conduct themselves appropriately. Silver City is a
rural area and local residents are not used to large numbers of
cyclists. Traffic rules are to be obeyed at all times. All roads are
open to traffic, except during the criterium. Ride as safely and
courteously as possible and obstruct traffic as little as possible.
Riders will wear approved safety helmets at all times when riding, including warm-up, for the entire duration of the race. Riders
are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet at all times when riding in the Silver City area. Riders will be courteous to the many
volunteers who are donating their time and effort to allow this
race to happen.
For the time trial a single number may be worn,
placed on the lower back of the jersey or the
shorts.
9. HELMETS must be worn and securely fastened at all times
while on the bicycle from registration through the awards ceremony.
10. MUSETTE BAGS: Use of plastic bags as musette bags is
prohibited. Only cloth will be permitted for food and water handups.

Radios
Checked out handheld radios must be turned in at the end
of each day.
TOUR SUPPORT
All categories will have neutral wheel support. We rely completely on wheels supplied by the riders. Volunteers will check
in wheels prior to the start. Please remember—at least one
rider every year is cut because not enough wheels were
checked in.
Wheels will be handed out as needed, not “wheel in-wheel
out.” You may keep wheels checked in for the duration of the
race. They are kept locked up and pressure is checked each
night. Wheels are available at each start location. The check
stub will have the contact information for pick-up. Riders
must return borrowed wheels immediately after the race to
their support driver at the finish line.
If wheels are not returned, the rider will forfeit his/her start and
any claim for prize money.
Directions to feed zones are in course descriptions; please
follow those directions. Support crews should position and
conduct themselves in feed zones and en route to feed
zones and finishes so as not to endanger other race participants or bystanders. Neutral water will be provided in all
feed zones and the finish lines at each road race. Check
course descriptions for locations. Please pick up all trash
in feed zones. Help us keep the wilderness wild!
Only authorized official race vehicles may follow the races.
Support crews en route to a feed zone frequently come upon
the race ahead of the one that they are supporting. They
must not interfere with those races! They may pass official
race vehicles only with permission of a referee.
Failure to follow these guidelines or other instructions may
result in penalties against riders, support personnel or both.
Please be polite. Keep in mind that the volunteers are not
mechanics. You are responsible for changing your own
wheels.
Time Trial
SRAM will provide a neutral pit at the peak of the climb and at
the turn-around. Specialty wheels should be taken to the pit
before your start. There will also be a mechanic on hand near
the start line.
Downtown Criterium
SRAM will provide two neutral pits, the main one at the start/
finish line, and another for wheel changes only on the back
stretch.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
We hope everyone has a safe race and stay in Silver City.
However, should you require emergency medical attention
during the race, paramedics will be available at various locations along the courses. Law enforcement and/or official
support vehicles following the race should be able to notify
paramedics if needed. At other times, in the Silver City area
call 911 for emergency help. Riders requiring medical
transport will be taken to:
Gila Regional Medical Center
1313 - 32nd Street
Silver City, New Mexico 88061
phone (575) 538-4000
SUPPORT CREWS & FEED ZONES
Feed zones for the road race locations are clearly marked on
the course descriptions. Beginning and end of feed zones will
be marked by signs. All feeding will take place in these designated zones; feeding outside the designated zones will subject
riders and feeders to penalties (rule 3C5). Bottles, wrappers
and other non-biodegradable materials should be passed or
thrown to support crews.
In extreme cases, riders may be transported outside of Grant
County. For information, please contact our Medical Director, Michelle Pahl, MD, at 207-272-2240.

of Mogollon. Parking is available on the side streets near Gough Park. Sign-in near the start line. Assemble for announcements 10 minutes before your start. Race will take a 1.9 mile(3.0 km) neutral parade through downtown Silver
City and up Market St. to US 180. Port-a-potties will be placed near the start and finish line.
Stage notes: 3 feed zones, 2 bonus sprints - no time bonus, only cash award for 1st. Finish line - no time bonuses.
Technical Support: Support is provided by neutral, volunteer support crews. Please check your wheels in with
the volunteer neutral support staff at the start line. Wheels are handed out as needed, not ‘wheel in – wheel out’. After
the finish, please return any wheels you may have received immediately. If for some reason a wheel exchange is
missed, call the phone number on the stub given you at wheel check-in.
Course Description: This is a 93.9 mile(151.1km) point-to-point race with 4,252 feet(1,296 meters) of climbing. After
the start, take a 1.9 mile(3.0km), neutral parade through the town and then left onto US 180, a 2-lane road with wide
shoulders. The first bonus sprint will be at 20.2 miles(32.5km). At 29.1 miles(46.8km), turn right in Cliff onto NM 211 and
enter feed zone area on the hill. Neutral water is provided here. Continue on NM 211 through Gila, then on a narrower
NM 211 with a few short steep rollers to the main highway. At 35.4 miles(57.0km), turn right on US 180 to Cliff again,
completing the first of two 11.2 mile(18km) loops. Upon reaching Cliff, turn right for a second trip through the feed zone
and around the loop. Continue on US 180 to the second bonus sprint at 59.4miles(95.6km). Head on to Glenwood and
enter feed zone area at 84.4 miles(135.8km). Neutral water is provided here. Turn right onto NM 159 at 87.2 miles
(140.3km) and head toward the ghost town of Mogollon where the road narrows and climbing begins for the last 6.7
miles(10.8km)..
Feed Zone Directions: There are three feed zones. Please pick up all trash in feed zones. Support crews must
leave before the race. From the start, the race heads south, but support crews should go north on Pope Street
to traffic light at US 180, then left (west) and head toward Cliff to get ahead of the race. You will have 3 minutes to pass
the point where the race enters on to US 180 at the top of Market Street. Proceed 29.3 miles(47.2km), to Cliff and turn
right onto NM 211. Just past the corner on a hill is the feed zone. It will be marked. Feeders must park at the school and
not on the slight hill. The race will pass through this feed zone twice, so you have two opportunities to feed them. After
feeding, retrace your route on NM 211 back to US 180 and turn right ahead of the race to Glenwood, a distance of approximately 32 miles(51.5km). A final feed zone will be marked on the hill leading out of Glenwood. After feeding here,
proceed to the designated parking lot at the intersectionof US 180 and NM 159. At this point, do not attempt to pass any
official race vehicles. Your riders will return to you after the finish.
Finish Procedure: Only official race caravan vehicles will be allowed up to the finish area. Vehicles must have
permission from an official to return to the base. This is a congested area, so drive slowly. Failure to do so will result in a
penalty determined by the Race Jury. Riders’ support crews are to stop at the base of the final climb, at the intersection
of NM 159 and US 180. So don’t hurry to the area. Riders are to return to you. The finish line is 73.1 miles(117.6km)
from Silver City. Bus transportation will be provided back to Silver City from the base of the climb at the intersection with
US 180.
Awards: Stage GC results will be posted on the windows of Gila Hike & Bike, at the Holiday Inn Express, and at
