All bikes will be left at the pub when you finish your race in a designated safe area. There is no room on bus to take you bike, sorry.

MANDATORY GEAR

A fair question: Why do we need to carry mandatory gear?

​

Answer: 

It is not only for your safety, but also if you come across another rider, you know where your gear is to help yourself.

Let's say you come across another rider that has come off their bike and is bleeding. You know where your gear is to help them without moving them.

We as race directors only have your best safety interests at heart. We want everyone to have a fantastic ride, but we also want you safe. So with that said, you will have to carry some mandatory gear. 

​

You are required to carry all your mandatory gear with you.

• Crepe Bandage (Minimum Dimensions 7.5cm Wide x 2.3m Long Unstretched)

• Wound dressing/band aids

• Triangular bandage

• Mobile

• Australian approved cycling helmet

• Pump or CO2 canisters

• Spare inner tube/s (or puncture repair kit)

• Capacity to carry 2 Litres of water (110km) or 1 Litre of water (60, 40, 34km).

 

Recommended Gear (Depending on Conditions)

• Beanie or Buff.

• Lightweight riding gloves

​​

The mandatory gear required to carry may change if weather conditions are very cold or wet. This decision can be made by the race director at any time. 

Please note we will not post any items left behind; it is your responsibility to collect them before Sunday lunch.
