Supporting Information 

• 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 for or if there are other groups to deal with.

• Make sufficient arrangements for all weather types. Raincoat, waterproof etc

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

• Make sure you have enough money & phone charge to get you home in emergencies.

• 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. The support vehicle will have water, fruit & snacks including 2 gels, 2 flapjack & 2 pieces of fruit per rider. 

• 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. If you get a puncture, replace the tube & get the tyre as close to pressure as possible then the next time you see the support vehicle top up air with the track pump.

• Support each other on the ride & wait for the group & individuals to regroup. 

• The ride will begin and end at the Lifelong Centre ,we will then ride 5 minutes to the Masjid. 

• Pictures will be taken during the ride please ensure you inform the group leader if you wish to not have your photos/videos taken
