• a support vehicle will follow the riders. However, riders must carry all essential equipment to mend punctures and fix minor mechanicals,
• riders are responsible for their own safety and well-being,
• we ask all riders to wear a helmet, be sensible when descending, and look out for one another,
• the support vehicle can carry people’s overnight bags for those who have done the three-day challenge.
  

Individuals will need to find their own accommodation on Tuesday night. We are not planning on organising transfers back to Whitney Bay but will assist people with this should they require it.
