Volunteers will begin clearing down equipment from 16:00. They will vacate the site by 17:00. It is important that you take note of these times.

First Aid

At each of our four Drinks Stations there will be a basic complimentary first aid kit which you are welcome to use. This will be supplied without any first aid instruction. If you require advice we recommend that you ring 111, however if it is an emergency then you should dial 999 immediately.

Sweeper Service

If you experience any problems with your cycle, or you become unwell or hurt, the routes will be patrolled by stewards with mobile telephones. There are also communication links at our checkpoints. We will endeavour to provide appropriate assistance where practical.
We will recover your cycle back to Garth Hill and if injured we will transport you, if you wish to Brants Bridge, a minor injures clinic. After this it will be your responsibility to arrange further transport for you and/or your cycle.
For the event only we have an emergency number: 07835 260107. This number is intended for minor incidents.

• Practice as much as possible during the weeks before the ride – it will make the ride much more enjoyable if your muscles are tuned-up for cycling.
• Get a good night’s sleep before the ride, and have a good breakfast on the day of the event.
• Check that your bike is roadworthy – check the tyres, brakes and all cables. If you are not sure how to do this take your cycle to a local bike shop. A Bracknell shop is Trek (postcode RG12 1NY) or you could try Berkshire Cycle Company – both of these companies support our event.
• The most common breakdown is a puncture, so please check you have at least enough tools to carry out a repair. We recommend you have a spare inner tube and don’t forget the pump!
• Bring some food to nibble; chocolate and fruit are a good idea. Note: drinks will be available at the drink stations.
• Ride at a leisurely pace. Enjoy the countryside, remember THIS IS NOT A RACE.
• Wear clothing – or reflective material – that will make you visible to motorists.
• If you do not have some sort of eye protection we recommend you buy some safety specs.
• Carry some cash with you, in case your bike breaks down. Our recovery vehicles will carry out repairs, but there will be a charge for parts.
• In the event of an emergency our recovery vehicle can bring you and your bike back to the start point.
