Riders dropped from the bunch finish later. Not sure which grade suits you? Choose by speed, and the handicapper will contact new riders to confirm their grade.

Riding safely

Three rules for every rider, in every grade and every race:

  • Red flashing rear light on, for the whole race. Drivers see a flashing light long before they see a rider.
  • Never overtake a car, including the follow car of another grade. If a car is ahead of the bunch, the race waits behind it.
  • Stay left of the centre line, at all times, including on corners and in the sprint. The roads are open to traffic.

Other notes

Graded scratch: an 8.4 km start lap to the finish line, then 9.7 km loops. Entry $25 · trial licence riders free · transponder hire $15 (buy $20) · entries close Saturday 9:00am.
