Support Vehicle for 3 Days

All support drivers assisting will ride behind the group they have been allocated. Where

possible they will drive behind the group; shielding them from any vehicle traffic coming from

behind. At times they may go ahead of the group to assist at key turns shielding them from

traffic coming from the front.

The support drivers will ensure they will stop at each stop noted in the route and assist the

riders with food and water.

Support drivers assisting a group will ensure they carry the groups Day bag (shoe bag) within

the vehicle they have been assigned. This will ensure the riders have quick access to any of

their personal items as they may not have access to the cabin luggage at each stop.
