E-Bike Policy
Yes you can PARTICIPATE but…

*You CANOT start in the 10:00 fast group.  Instead you have to start anytime between 10:05 and 10:20.
*You have to add the text (e-bike) to your last name on entry or tell us on the day and we will add it.
*You CANOT get a podium place, as we are not creating a category for you, just allowing you to be part of this fun event
*Your results will not count towards a series result.

 

I know this sounds all a bit negative but lets break it down. We want to see our events in terms of overall performance and results to remain as non e-bikes. However if you have an e-bike, lets face it you have chosen that for the sake of being able to get out there. So yes, please come. Participate and have fun with us all. Just respect those that don’t have an electric motor as they challenge themselves to the course au natural
