support – there will be 2 feed stations on the course (2 for the imperial and 1 for the metric). at each feed station, each rider will provided with 1 water, 1 sports drink, 1 sports bar, 1 gel and coke will also be available. regardless of whether you will be taking any of the food/drink provided, each team must stop and check in to ensure we do not leave any teams out on course. a sag wagon will be available, in case of an accident or mechanical. please ensure that at least one team member carries a mobile phone during the event. a phone number for the sag wagon will be made available on the day. the finish will be at DOME Westralia Plaza and teams must check in so we know who has finished. each rider will be provided with a voucher for a coffee/cold drink and there will be a computer available to download the STRAVA results. as it will be close to lunch time, feel free to hang around and enjoy a bite to eat while you welcome the other finishing teams.
other rules – teams will be started at timed intervals to ensure that the events road presence is kept to a minimum. the course is not closed and will not be marked, but teams must obey all west australian road rules at all times. it is the responsibility of each rider to look after their own safety and that of others, and as such, should ride to traffic conditions as necessary. as this is a timed event, it is in your best interest to not join up with other teams although, in the act of obeying traffic signals, it is possible that teams will come together on the road. you do not have to physically stop at any water tower except those with a feed station, but must ensure that you follow the course as it passes them by. the map for the imperial route shows the location of some public toilets that can be found along the way.
