About the Event

Info for Riders

Both races will be run with the assistance of the East Midlands AMS. There will also be a full compliment of NEG outriders to ensure safe passage of both races.

Riders should be aware that some of the course is held on "Lincolnshire lanes!" and although quiet, the road surface in places is poor....It is the riders responsibility to look after each other and to know where the poor road surface is.. On the day Commissaires will give a briefing of where the worst parts are!!

The finish of both races is at the top of Barbers Hill.

There are to be no cycling shoes worn in the HQ area...This is a special request from the school. We are very lucky to be able to use the excellent facilities that the school offers. If we lose the HQ, we lose the race!!

There will be a comprehensive refreshment/cake stall at the event with all proceeds and any profit going from the event going to the "Young Lives Vs Cancer" charity. Please support this very worthy cause in memory of Timmy.
