Autumn Classic Velodrome Sportive

Question 1

Can you be ‘disqualified’ if you get off your bike?

Accepted Answer

There are no disqualifications for getting off the bike. There are plenty of events where the hills are too much for a lot of people and you often see them pushing the bike up. What we will say though, is that as the course is open to other traffic if you were to get off the bike at any point do so in a safe manner and make sure you aren't in traffic. Your safety is of utmost importance to us at all times. I am sure you will be fine though as there are marshalls out on course as well who all want everyone to have a great experience and will support and help you.

Question 2

When will I receive the race day information?

Accepted Answer

The detailed race information including maps, details on parking, registration, baggage and start times will be e-mailed out to participants approximately 10 days before the event date.

This sometimes ends up in junk mail so please keep an eye out for it!

Question 3

Will I get a medal?

Accepted Answer

All finishers will receive a custom made, race themed medal at the end of the race.

Question 4

Can I wear headphones to listen to music while I race?

Accepted Answer

In ear and over ear headphones are strictly not permitted at any Uprevail event.

Bone conducting headphones are permitted, unless stated on the event page.

Question 5

Do I need to be a British Cycling member to take part?

Accepted Answer

Nope! You don’t need to be a British Cycling member, and there’s no race licence or race pass required. Our sportive is fully insured through British Cycling’s event coverage, so you’re good to go. Whether you’re riding your first 40km or chasing a personal best on the long route, we’ve got you covered.

(And if you are a British Cycling member, your own personal third-party liability insurance kicks in too, so it’s a nice bonus.)
