Q: Are people allowed to come and cheer me on?

There will be no cheer points on the route, but spectators are welcome at the finish line in Brighton.

Q: How will the finish work?

Due to the nature of participants spreading out over the course of the day, there will still be an opportunity to celebrate your achievements at the finish line, and our charity village will still be in operation as normal. We will however be asking participants not to spend too long at the finish line, and as a result we will unfortunately not be having a bar at this year’s event. There are however, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby on Brighton seafront that will be open for business.

Q: Can I start earlier than my allocated start time?

No, you will not be allowed to start any earlier than your allocated start window.

Q: Can I change my start time after it’s been allocated?

Unfortunately this is not something we will be able to facilitate.

Q: How do I make sure I get the same start time as someone I want to ride with?

If you signed up as part of a group and want to ride with your teammates, you are able to request this via the form. Ticking this will ensure all members of your group have the same start time. Please be aware that by not ticking this field and instead providing an estimated completion time, you will be waiving your guarantee of starting with your teammates and we will instead allocate your start time based upon your forecasted time. For anyone who signed up separately, please make sure you select the same estimated riding time as the people you wish to cycle with to give yourselves the best chance of being allocated the same (or very similar) start time.

Q: How will the staggered start work?

Each rider will be allocated a 20 minute start window, this will be determined based on the estimated completion time all participants have been asked to provide us with. Those who estimate they will complete the event in the shortest time will be allocated the earliest start-times, as doing this the other way around would simply create a situation where faster riders are catching up with those who set off before them, creating an increased risk of over-crowding.

Q: Why are you allocating start times this year?

In order to meet the assembly guidelines provided by the relevant authorities, we have had to put measures in place that will minimise the build up of any crowds at any point along the route. Allocating start times enables us to spread riders out along the course that will reduce crowding throughout the day and avoid too many people arriving at Clapham Common (and using public transport in order to do so) at the same time.

Q: The Government have announced the easing of all lockdown regulations on 19 July, so why will there be restrictions in place at this event in September?

A number of the sites we use are owned by local councils, who we have to obtain permission off to be allowed to run the event. Many of these councils have set out a number of social distancing regulations that all event organisers must comply with in order to obtain authorisation to go ahead. Without agreeing to these regulations, we would not be allowed access to these sites, which would force us into cancelling the event.
