• The cycle course is all on grass – we advise against road bikes with slick tyres. Mountain bikes and cyclo-cross bikes, with a slightly knobbly tyre tread, are appropriate for this course.
• Our marshals will carry out a check on your bike before racking in transition to ensure that it is in full working order.
• Wearing a cycle helmet during the cycle stage is mandatory – you will not be able to race without one.
