What speed do I need to maintain?
There will be riders of most abilities and there will be no restriction on how fast you can ride. However, we need to finalise the event so you would need to be able to average close on 20km/hr rolling time over the entire course assuming total breaks of about an hour. The cut off time for riders returning to Sheffield is 2.15pm. Separate cut off times apply to the various rest points. See the cut-off times page: https://www.nicscradlechallenge.net.au/cut-times
What happens if it is raining on the day?
Only in exceptional dangerous weather conditions will the event be cancelled. Otherwise we ride and get wet.
What insurance is provided?
Every rider is covered for personal accident and death and public liability by Cycling Australia's (CA) insurance. If you are already a CA member you are automatically covered. For all over riders insurance will be taken out for the day so you will receive the same cover.
