Please note that the cycle course is all on grass - we advise against road bikes with slick tyres. Mountain bikes and cyclo cross bikes, with a slightly knobbly tyre tread, are appropriate for this course. Our marshals will carry out a check on your bike before racking in transition to ensure that it is in full working order. Wearing a cycle helmet, during the cycle stage, is mandatory - you will not be able to race without one.
