We want to assure both parents and riders that safety is our number one priority. We want everyone at the event to have a blast while at the same time making sure all the riders and those around them remain safe. With this safety goal in mind, we want to offer the following suggestions and rules of the road.
Choose a route that is achievable. We encourage riders to go the distance, but also want to make sure the event is enjoyable.
All the races are off road, and although there will be ride and route marshals, all riders should have the skills necessary to ride safely off road on a single track.
- There shall be spectator points on the circuits.
- The event shall have art and sculpture exhibitions as well as a craft fair
- The event shall have food and drink tents for three days to cater for the camping lovers.
- On Sunday night after the race there shall be a party to end the event on a high.
There will be a limited number of bikes for hire at Kshs. 500 per bike per day
Make sure your equipment is in good condition. Before the ride, check bicycle, helmets and brakes. Although, we will have bike mechanics at the event, it is better to come prepared so you can spend your time enjoying the ride and the day.
