A BUNCH OF OTHER INFO FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE DETAILS
  • Bikes: You can ride just about any bike. We don’t care. Just leave the motor at home. Most people ride cyclocross or gravel bikes with 700x33mm tires or larger. Mountain bikes are totally fine. 
  • BC Membership: This event is held under British Cycling Rules. If you are not a member… don't worry. For the price of a pint you can take out a day licence.   
  • Helmets: Wear a helmet at all times.
  • Pre-riding: We encourage you to pre-ride the course! The course will be open from 9:30am 
  • Sign On: Our friendly volunteers will be in position from 9am    
  • Chips and numbers: We aren’t talking Doritos, we are talking about timing chips. D3Racetec will be issuing ankle timing chips that placed on your left ankle - OVER YOUR SOCK. Pin your race number onto your left side back. Always the left.
  • Results: Results will be available from D3Racetec. 
  • Start: It will be a mass start. 
  • Neutral support & pits: You can keep a spare bike, spare wheels or fuel here. If you have an issue with your bike, you can only progress forward to the pits (no running upstream). People can help you get your bike working again in the pits or anywhere on the course if you have a problem.
  • Teams & Tents: Teams are welcome to set up tents along the course where designated in the start/finish area.
