Requested Street Closures
Informational question #4 asks to outline any requested road closures. Brazen Dropouts
proposes the following loop (red line) to be used for the race course, encircling the New High School::
● Wall Street between the northeast and east intersections with Wildcat Way
● Wildcat Way between the northeast and east intersections with Wall Street
Brazen Dropouts will provide volunteers for traffic control at the following intersections (blue
circles):
● Wall Street & West End Circle
● West End Circle & Wildcat Way
● Wildcat Way & Kwik Trip exit
● Wildcat Way & offshoot from Nine Mound Road
Cars and spectators would be allowed in/out of the parking lots between races and when the
traffic control volunteers deem it is safe to do so - i.e. when the presence of a car or spectator would not
interfere with the cyclists on course. Traffic should follow clockwise around the loop along the same
direction as the cyclists (this is safest and standard for cycling races). Please let us know if police
presence is required to monitor closures on this loop.
Event Items
Informational question #7 asks if any items or services will be sold or given away at this event.
Race winners, places 1-3, in each category will be awarded cash prizes.
Toilets
Informational question #8 asks if we will provide portable toilets. Brazen Dropouts would like to
request access to the Verona Area High school to use for bathrooms -- we have submitted a request
through the High School for access to the atrium.

Hi Jeanene,
Thanks for your recommendations! The estimate looks good to us — I’ve attached info about our EIN number
(we’re a 501c4 organization), the signed invoice document, and completed the online forms. We will have
insurance information in the next few weeks once we secure permits with USA Cycling. I’ll send those over as
soon as I can.
Will the final invoice be sent after the event, or will we pay beforehand?
Thanks so much for your help in this busy week!

Hello Anne,
I just heard back from our custodial manager and we will be able to accommodate your group on Saturday, Aug
14th! However, we believe it will work best, and cut down costs for your group, if you set up the registration
tables in our main entrance lobby (very large space). Our team would limit access to the other main areas of
the school so the attendees and guests will only have access to the lobby area, which is also where the main
bathrooms are located.
I attached a cost estimate for your review. Since this plan limits the large Atrium area, I charged a lesser
"classroom" fee for use of the lobby and restrooms. You are also welcome to use our tables and chairs for your
registration setup. I would just need to know how many you would need.

If this all looks good to you, please sign this estimate and send it back to me. I would also need the following
documents submitted before your event date:
Proof of Non Profit status (501c3)
Certificate of Insurance (Verona Area High School must be listed as the Certificate Holder with our
address - 234 Wildcat Way, Verona Wi 53593)
Please sign this VASD Liability Waiver
