FINAL RIDER INFORMATION/GPX

Final Rider Information will be downloadable here prior to the event date and will be sent out, with gpx links, via the event newsletter.

Much of the event route is on private land within Duncombe Park Estate. It is important that there is no riding prior to or after the event, as this can affect the livelihood of the local community.

FINAL RIDER INFORMATION, FINAL GPX AND BRIEFING AVAILABLE HERE 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE EVENT

TIMING AND RESULTS

Riders will be issued with a timing chip at registration alongside their rider number, both should remain on the bike for the full weekend. Timing chips will be collected on Saturday after the finish.

Riders are responsible for returning the timing chips at the end of Saturday’s stage or earlier if they retire. Loss or damage to timing chips will incur a cost to the rider.

Results will be displayed by class a short time after the last riders cross the line.
