Covid-19 specifics:

Route safety: There are inherent dangers in Audax riding. You are entirely responsible for your own safety. The organisers provide no support of any kind on the route. Take note that much of the route takes place on narrow roads. For safety we recommend that you ride in single file. Only ride two abreast where it is safe to do so and never ride more than two abreast.
Visibility: We have had a few incidents and near misses on rides recently. Please assist to keep yourself, and those that you ride with, safe by:
- Wearing visible clothing. Bright, fluorescent colours are best.
- Using daytime running lights, front and back.
- Most people will complete well before sunset, but if there is any chance of you finishing in the dark, front and back lights and a reflective visibility vest/ braces are compulsory
Equipment: Please ensure that your equipment is in good working order. Front and rear lights are compulsory as well as a reflective vest or belt.
Cards: Please fill out your card properly and hand it in at the finish.
Keep to the route: Please note that you are not permitted to choose your own route between controls – you must follow the route provided.
Withdrawal: If you need to withdraw for any reason, please notify us. The number to call will be on your brevet card.
