Riders can dismount and push, lift or even run with their bikes. It tests all aspects of the rider’s physiology and with spectators close to the action in a party like atmosphere it is a heap of fun!\nDo I need a special bike to take part?No, you don’t  but your bike will need to fit the equipment requirements outlined above and be suitable to navigate the mixed terrain and different surfaces. We’d love to see you and your bike dressed up (tip: stuff in spokes is not ideal!)…there will be prizes.\nHow long am I riding for?Each category will ride on the course for a set time, the officials will guide you off the course when your time is up.\nHow does the start work?Everyone starts together, in waves, with a minimum of one foot on the ground. The starter will count you down.  Parents are welcome and encouraged to walk/run alongside the Under 5’s.\nWill I get lost on the course?Let’s hope not…if you end up in Hawera you’ve taken a wrong turn!  The course will be taped off with marshals stationed around the course and you’ll have a chance (weather permitting) to test ride the course.\nWhat happens if I get lapped?You keep riding!  Just remember to keep left to allow faster riders to pass.\n
