No Racing or large pelotons
The Ballarat Spokes Cycle Classic is a non competitive mass participation ride; therefore there must be no racing. Riders should not ride in large pelotons (no pelotons larger than 20 are permitted on open roads). If two pelotons are riding together, they should allow approximately 0.5km between.
Cut-off time
The course will be serviced by support staff from 8.00am until 1pm. For the safety of cyclists and volunteers a cut-off time will be imposed at Dunnstown at 1pm. Cyclists should consider this cut-off time and their cycling fitness levels when entering The Classic. Cyclists who arrive at Dunnstown after 1pm will be able to continue along the course but there will not be marshals after this time.
