Drop and Go on the<br />
morning of your start<br />
All riders not staying at<br />
Glencairn Farm on the evening<br />
prior to their start will need to<br />
make use of the Drop and Go<br />
system on Glencairn Farm, now<br />
situated at the entrance near<br />
the batch pounds.<br />
• Supporters bringing riders<br />
to the start will need to<br />
drop riders with their bikes<br />
and boxes at the Super<br />
Group trucks, which will be<br />
positioned at the loading<br />
ramps opposite the batch<br />
pounds. The Super Group<br />
truck taking bike boxes and<br />
other items directly to the<br />
finish in Scottburgh will also be<br />
positioned here.<br />
• Riders need to be race ready,<br />
with bottles and GPS units.<br />
• Riders will need to load<br />
their boxes and can then<br />
help themselves to the<br />
complimentary Clover<br />
breakfast at Glencairn Farm.<br />
• This system will run from 7am<br />
to 10am on the mornings of<br />
each start date.<br />
• Please ask drivers to be aware<br />
of cyclists on this section as<br />
it forms part of the neutral<br />
zone at the first 3km of the<br />
Day 1 route.<br />
• Please aim to be dropped off<br />
at least 40 minutes prior to<br />
your start time so you have<br />
enough time for breakfast<br />
and to check in to your batch<br />
pound, situated just before the<br />
start line.<br />
Batch starts and seeding<br />
In an effort to reduce congestion<br />
on the race route, we will be<br />
seeding all teams for the start<br />
each day. Seeding for Day 1 will<br />
be based on recent events and/or<br />
your last <strong>sani</strong>2c results. Seeding<br />
for Day 2 and Day 3 will be based<br />
on your overall position.<br />
Batches<br />
Day 1: Batches of 50 teams<br />
will leave at 10-minute intervals<br />
on Day 1, with Batch A starting<br />
at 8am.<br />
Day 2: Batches, consisting of<br />
50 teams each, will leave at<br />
10-minute intervals. Batch A<br />
will start at first light.<br />
Day 3: All 50-team batches<br />
(in non-Race events) will leave<br />
at 10-minute intervals.<br />
Reverse order for Batches<br />
A and B on Day 3 in the Race<br />
event only. In the Race event,<br />
only Batches A and B will start at<br />
10am. Batch B will start directly<br />
behind Batch A. All teams in<br />
contention and eligible for<br />
podium positions need to start<br />
in either Batch A or B. Should<br />
you be in the top 5 in your<br />
category the onus is on you to<br />
ensure that you have spoken<br />
to the time keepers and made<br />
arrangements to start in Batch<br />
B. Anyone not starting in Batch<br />
A or B on the last day will not be<br />
eligible for a podium position.<br />
NOTE: Both team members<br />
need to check in together with<br />
the batch pound marshals.<br />
This must happen at least 20<br />
