- The first section is fenced and its gates close at night, so finish there before 18:00.
What to bring
- Helmet
- Spare tube, tyre levers and a pump
- Water and snacks
- Front and rear lights

Getting ready for it
Time in the saddle matters more than speed.
If you have not ridden for a while, do two or three rides of an hour or two first so your legs and your seat are used to it.
Staying safe
- Wear bright clothing and use lights wherever there is traffic.
- Check your brakes and tyres before you leave.
