At the very least you should be able to finish the novice race at the Stampede with your handlebar secured to the stem. As for the rest of the bike, I don't know.
So I've spent most of this evening in my bike shop wrenching, and just realized, I have 5 bikes with 2 bolt stems and one with a single bolt design. Never had one fail on me...
