OTHER DISTANCE RIDERS
We can’t be there to support everyone as you know, but since there are a few in scattered ride distances who are riding with other friends or groups, please set your own start times and locations…we wish EVERY ONE OF YOU the biggest success on the day and will be thinking of you as you smash it out in the WW colours! Go YOU!

ALL RIDERS
Some of you will ride the longest distance you have completed, some it will be what you have done before – whatever distance, let’s make it a FUN day out on the bike. Remember, that when you wear the WW colours you remind everyone of what an awesome team you are, what brilliant riders you are and that we are the most inclusive women’s ride group around! Be proud of the colours…this event always brings a little tear to my eye when I see so many wearing the BEST kit out there!

And yes that means you wear the WW kit, not the BN issued jersey – keep that for a training day and as a souvenir. If you don’t have a WW Team jersey, then wear the BN one.

• Make sure you have wet weather gear contingency – small roll up waterproof jacket, or carry it in your stringer back
• Carry adequate snack food – DON’T try anything new on the day!! Stick to what you know and have had before
• DON’T wear new knicks on the day…stick to the tried and true comfy ones!
• DON’T suddenly make this your first ride in cleats…test everything before hand!
• If it is cold…wear layers, don’t just throw on your warmest coat. Make sure you can strip a layer at a time…and be able to carry it!
• Carry a Myki in case of an emergency where you need to get off the ride
• Make sure you have enough water, and whatever the weather, hot or cold, keep drinking the whole way!!
• LIGHTS, LIGHTS and LIGHTS…no excuses!!!
• Spare tube, pump or C02…no excuses!

POST RIDE
Meet in the event village for a celebratory get together and refreshments.

See you all on Sunday and can’t wait to ride with you!! Let’s hope the weather improves.

Location
