FAQs


When do registrations close?
Online and hardcopy Registrations close at Midday on Saturday 5 March.
Registrations received after this time will not be processed. You can however register in person at the event start on Sunday morning.

When do I get my Rider ID?
All riders are requested to collect their Rider ID during specific pre-registration times here at 111 Franklin St. This will save you time at the start.  You can collect your Rider ID between 9.00am and 5.00pm on Thurs 3 & Friday 4 March and between 8.00am and 12.00pm on Saturday 5 March. If for some reason you cannot make it in to collect your Rider ID before the ride you will be able collect it at the start location. Please note: they are not mailed out. You can collect on behalf of someone else providing you have a copy of their payment receipt. 

What sort of bike do I need to have?
On our recreational rides there will be a great range of bikes out on the road from older mountain bikes/hybrids to the latest road bikes. Smoother tyres will make your ride easier/quicker but don't feel you need the latest bike to be able to enjoy the fun of participating! It's definitely a good idea to get your bike checked at your local bike shop beforehand.


What should I wear?

March is likely to be very warm so we suggest wearing a moisture wicking lycra shirt or a simple cotton t-shirt is excellent too. Padded bike pants are great or else a comfy pair of shorts/cargo pants. Plenty of sunscreen & hydration is very important! Check the forecast & ride updates in the days preceding the event to plan your attire and ensure you are well prepared!


How long will the ride take?

Depending on your riding speed/ability/time spent at refreshment stops allow:
10km : 30 - 45 minutes 20km: 60 minutes - 1.5 hours
65km: 2.5 hours - 4.5 hours 95km: 3.5 hours - 6 hours 120km: 4.5 hours - 7.5 hours
The ride times are not recorded.


How do I get back from the finish?
If you haven't got someone to pick you up at the finish there is the option of transport back from Victor Harbor on our chartered buses - book when you register or else if you have already registered & wish to add the transfer simply call the office on 8168 9999. Your bike is transported as well & will be protected by blankets - no need to box it up.


Can I ride with my baby trailer or child seat?

Sure - all children under the age of 6 can participate for free.


What is the minimum age?
Children are welcome to participate - however if aged under the age of 16 they must be accompanied by a nominated adult at all times.


Can I transfer my ride to someone else if I can't ride?

Sure - we will just need the details of the new rider via a hard copy form & letter of permission.


Do I have to be a Bicycle SA member to participate?
Not at all, however being a Bicycle SA member not only gives you a discount on the ride entry fee but also on most other Bicycle SA ride events, plus with membership you automatically receive accident insurance cover through Cycle Cover Insurance.
