Event Rules

- No littering.
- You must wear an Australian standard cycling helmet.
- Your race number must be visible on the front of your bike at all times.
- Report to either a feed station marshal or to the finish timing marshals at Stromlo if you decide to withdraw from the event.
- Stay on the marked course. Short cuts are not permitted and those found cutting the course will be disqualified. If you get lost return to the last sighted race sign.
- You may stop anywhere along the untimed section including at shops or houses along/near the route to get some lunch, drinks or go to a bike store. You will ride very close to both Dickson and O’Connor shops. Both these areas have bike stores.
- You must obey all road rules.
- Give way to emergency vehicles if they come through the course.
- You must obey directions of marshals at all times
- Please assist any riders on the course that have been badly injured and are in need of help. Pass on information to the next rider to notify marshals. Your time will be adjusted to account for time lost while helping.
- Passing: those riders wanting to pass on single track should yell “track left” to pass on the left or “track right” to pass on the right and wait for a safe place to pass. Please be considerate of other riders.
- You must not race within the untimed section. This is for your safety and that of other cycle path users.
- During the race (including both the timed and untimed sections) you must not accept a lift in a vehicle.
- We do not recommend the wearing of iPods or other music players with headphones as we require riders to be aware of their surroundings, including an awareness of other riders, being able to hear instructions from event marshals and being aware of road crossing safety. iPods are not allowed to be used at all on the untimed section (you must remove headphones completely).
- You must hand in a signed indemnity form at registration.
