Supporting Information 

We will try and make preparations to ensure everyone is looked after & the ride is enjoyable.

• Try and be self-sufficient on the ride so you can resolve minor mechanical issues yourself. For example, punctures, chain drop, gearing issues, spare tubes & pumps. If not individually then as a group.

• Please carry 2 water bottles on the bike. This is because the support vehicles may not see you or if they have other groups to deal with.

• Make sufficient arrangements for all weather types. Raincoat, waterproof. sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, waterproofs etc.

• Ensure you have a Helmet and all children and young riders are supervised.

• Make sure your phone is fully charged and you have enough money to get you home in emergencies if you suffer an injury or a mechanical.

• Please don’t leave anyone behind. If someone suffers an injury or mechanical stay together better to finish as a team a bit later than as a soloist. 

• STAY HYDRATED Bring electrolyte for your water.

• PATIENCE will be the word of the day. This is a testing challenge & things will go wrong please show patience with the team & riders. 

• IF YOU STOP FOR ANY REASON NO MATTER HOW BRIEF, GET OFF THE ROAD.

• Remember we represent more than just ourselves so please use common sense and show consideration to locals and other road users.

• TUBES - Common road tubes & hybrid tubes will be carried by the support vehicle. You should carry at least 1 of your own so you can get going & don’t have to wait for the vehicle. They will be busy with others. The support vehicle will also carry a puncture repair kit & common bike repair tools as well as track pumps. As the Guild Wheel is a closed track it will be unlikey that the support vehicle will be near please ensure you liase with your ride lead to make arrangements.
