*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! NO-CYCLING EXCLUSION ZONES ***
It is normally illegal to ride over sections of the race route that are footpaths or traverse private land. Permission to ride over these sections has been granted for the day of the race only. This means that there is strictly NO CYCLE TRAINING over most of the off-road sections. See the no-training course map for full details. The future of the race will be in jeopardy if selfish riders ignore these restrictions.

Equipment, training, race experiences, aches and pains, tips for newbies... etc. Share your experiences, knowledge (or ignorance!) and wisdom with everyone else on our discussion forum.
