  • A form of identification, showing their name, address and the contact details of a person to be advised in the event of an accident.
  • Food, drink, money, a mobile phone, spare inner tubes, a working pump, a basic tool kit and any spare clothing, sufficient to complete the ride being undertaken, taking into account the route and possible adverse weather conditions.

By entering the event, riders confirm that they understand and agree that they do so entirely at their own risk and that they will rely on their own ability in dealing with all hazards and ride in a manner which is safe for themselves and all others.  They further accept that the marshals’ function is only to indicate the direction of the route, riders must decide if the movement they make is safe.  The event is policed by marshals and the Dyfed Powys Police Force and riders will be disqualified, via the recording of their rider number, should they not comply with these terms and conditions.
