COVID-19 Safety Measures
In order to be as COVID-19 safe as possible, some changes have been made to the usual format:
  • The number of riders in each event is limited to 50 riders;
  • Snacks will NOT be provided at controls. Riders should carry all their nutritional requirements or purchase these along their route (100km at Marrar and Coolamon and 200 km at Wagga and Junee);
  • Water will be available at Marrar, Millwood and Wagga Beach controls;
  • Riders can sign their own brevet card and should carry their own pen;
  • We ask that you observe social distancing at all stops;
  • To minimise the numbers at marshalling points, start times for each event will be staggered as follows:
    • The 200km Road ride starts at 7.30 AM.
    • The 100km Road ride starts at 7.30 AM.
    • The 50km Road ride starts at 8.30 AM.
    • The 50km Mixed Terrain ride starts at 8.30 AM.
All entries must be completed online. NO entries can be accepted on the day.
