Rider packs need to be collected at the HQ on your way to the start line.

Pre-Event Questionnaire

It is essential that all riders complete the pre-event questionnaire for each event. This can be done from 10am on Tuesday and must be completed before 18:00 Thursday.

NO FORM = NO RIDE

Book your start time here

We set riders off 10 per minute and you must book your start slot for each event.

Please select an available time and enter your chip/rider number*.

Make a note of the time you have booked and then head to the start line a few minutes before the time you have booked.

On the day, arrive in adequate time* to collect your rider pack, get your bike ready and enjoy a coffee.


*We encourage you to arrive no more than 45 mins before your start.

*You can book friends a start time but it is essential that they complete their own pre-event form. Legal action could be taken if a rider does not complete their own questionnaire*
