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 />
