Accommodation
This has been reserve for those who have asked for it in the Discovery Holiday Park in Adelaide for the duration of the stay of the Tour Party.
Transport
Those known to be travelling to Australia have been asked to advise by 22 April as to if they require assistance with transfers to and from the various competition venues. From the responses received, sufficient vehicles will be hired. The Championship promoters have kindly agreed to supply appropriate transport to transfer the team equipment from the Airport to the Holiday Park FOC.
Championship Programme
This is now available from Paul West on Request.
Pre Championship Training
Those riders pre selected for the Great Britain Team are being invited to a series of Training Campos throughout the year. As well as Technical training there is also regular fitness checks and talks on various topics linked with preparing riders as best as possible.
Extra Assistance
BCHQ are to assist with the cost of running the afore mentioned training camps. There will hopefully then be a balance left over to help both the Tour in general and specific riders. Addition, guidance, advice and letters of support/reference can be supplied to assist those trying to obtain sponsorship and grants to help ease the cost of being part of this tour.
