WHAT IS A CLASSIC BIKE

RULES

The event, while being a classic bike ride, is also open to entrants on any type of bicycle (no MTB’s or E-bikes).

The categories are listed below,  categories 1 and 2 are considered the ‘classics’ and as such have a $70 entry fee.

All other bikes, up to current 2021 models, will have a $80 entry fee.

The roads are not closed, and all relevant road rules must be followed. The event briefing at 9.15am will outline all rules and regulations.

Entrants will need to tick the waiver box on the entry form, to enter.
