CYCLING RULES SPECIFIC TO THIS COURSE

  1. No Drafting – a 7metre gap must be kept from the cyclists around you. If overtaking a slower cyclist you have 30 seconds in which to complete the manoeuvre.
    It is the responsibility of the overtaken cyclist to drop back and maintain the 7m gap once the faster cyclist has his or her wheel in front.If you are, in the opinion of the draftbusters, deliberately drafting and seeking to gain an advantage you will be issued with a 10 minute time penalty. Drafting is a“judgement” call – the draftbuster does not have to notify you at the time of your penalty as this could compromise road safety. If you are reported twice you will be DISQUALIFIED.
  2. Cycling next to another cyclist is forbidden. (-see above)
  3. If you are not overtaking keep to the left hand side of the road allowing faster cyclists and traffic to overtake you.
  4. On A-roads do not cross the centre white line. (DQ)
