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.
