Prizes and cake afterwards at Highbeach Church

Rules:
- Helmets are now MANDATORY at hill climbs. Any riders who arrive at the start line without one will not be allowed to race.
- Front and rear lights are also MANDATORY.
Getting to the start:
Riders must approach the startline at Mott Street from Lippets Hill and NOT ride on the course once the race has started.
Spectators and Riders MUST NOT congregate near the finish line to avoid a bottle neck. This event is NOT held on a closed road. There’s plenty of room further down the course for cheering your fellow competitors on.
