There will be a Lead Vehicle to leading the first cyclist out to ensure that they are taken on to the correct course. There will also be a vehicle following the last cyclist to ensure they get back safely and also to release the marshals.
Please note that Ipods, mp3 players or any musical devices that require you to use earplugs are not permitted on the cycle course.
Traffic Management and or marshals will be located on every corner. Road rules apply at all times, do not cross the centre line and ensure you stay to the left at all times.
