There is a small section of back road so always be mindful of cars. The volunteer marshals will be on the route.

The route is designed to be a challenge and not for pbs!

Horses, mountain bikers, dog walkers: Always be aware of others. If approaching horses from behind, make yourself known in good time to avoid unwanted surprises! The area is popular with mountain bikers.
